General annotation (Comments)

Function

Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone.

Catalytic activity

Acyl-CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = CoA + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.

Pathway

Phospholipid metabolism; CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis; CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 2/3.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Potential.

Tissue specificity

Expressed predominantly in heart and liver.

Domain

The HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate By similarity.

Involvement in disease

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy 1 (CGL1) [MIM:608594]: An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a near complete absence of adipose tissue, extreme insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, hepatic steatosis and early onset of diabetes.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.10

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: O15120-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: O15120-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     165-196: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
