Also Known as AYTL2; lpcat; AGPAT9; LPLAT8; PFAAP3; AGPAT10; LPCAT-1; lysoPAFAT
Species: Homo sapiens
About LPCAT1
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 249 orthologues and 4 paralogues. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 73.0), spleen (RPKM 32.6) and 18 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate Acyltransferase family of proteins. The encoded enzyme plays a role in phospholipid metabolism, specifically in the conversion of lysophosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylcholine in the presence of acyl-CoA. This process is important in the synthesis of lung surfactant and platelet-activating factor (PAF). Elevated expression of this gene may contribute to the progression of oral squamous cell, prostate, breast, and Other human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
