About Lrat

Summary

Enables phosphatidylcholine-retinol O-acyltransferase activity; retinoic acid binding activity; and retinol binding activity. Involved in response to retinoic acid; response to vitamin A; and retinoid metabolic process. Located in multivesicular body; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 14 and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human LRAT (lecithin retinol Acyltransferase).
