Protein attributes

Sequence length	680 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity	Acyl-CoA + glycerone phosphate = CoA + acylglycerone phosphate.
Pathway	Membrane lipid metabolism; glycerophospholipid metabolism.
Subunit structure	May be part of an heterotrimeric complex composed of DAP-AT, ADAP-S and a modified form of DAP-AT.
Subcellular location	Peroxisome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Matrix side By similarity. Note: Exclusively localized to the lumenal side of the peroxisomal membrane By similarity.
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	Defects in GNPAT are the cause of rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 2 (RCDP2) [MIM:222765]. RDCP2 is characterized by rhizomelic shortening of femur and humerus, vertebral disorders, cataract, cutaneous lesions and severe mental retardation. Ref.2 Ref.9
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the GPAT/DAPAT family.
