  Short name:
  GPAT

<p>This subsection of the <a href="http://www.uniprot.org/help/function%5Fsection">'Function'</a> section describes the metabolic pathway(s) associated with a protein.<p><a href='/help/pathway' target='_top'>More...</a></p>Pathwayⁱ

• Pathwayⁱ: CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis

  This protein is involved in step 1 of the subpathway that synthesizes CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate. This subpathway is part of the pathway CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis, which is itself part of Phospholipid metabolism.
  View all proteins of this organism that are known to be involved in the subpathway that synthesizes CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate, the pathway CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis and in Phospholipid metabolism.
