Gene: GPAM
Alternate names for this Gene: GPAT|GPAT1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme which prefers saturated fatty acids as its substrate for the synthesis of glycerolipids. This metabolic pathway's first step is catalyzed by the encoded enzyme. Two forms for this enzyme exist, one in the mitochondria and one in the endoplasmic reticulum. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10q25.2
Description of this Gene: glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial
Type of Gene: protein-coding
