Protein name |
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3 (GPAT-3) (EC 2.3.1.15) (1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 10) (AGPAT 10) (1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 9) (1-AGP acyltransferase 9) (1-AGPAT 9) (EC 2.3.1.51) (Acyl-CoA:glycerol-3-ph |
Protein function |
Converts glycerol-3-phosphate to 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone (PubMed:17170135). Also converts LPA into 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosp |
