Gene: AGPAT5

Alternate names for this Gene: 1AGPAT5|LPAATE

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase family. This integral membrane protein converts lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, the second step in de novo phospholipid biosynthesis. A pseudogene of this gene is present on the Y chromosome.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8p23.1

Description of this Gene: 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
