Gene: GPAT3

Alternate names for this Gene: AGPAT 10|AGPAT10|AGPAT8|AGPAT9|HMFN0839|LPAAT-theta|MAG1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase protein family. The encoded protein is an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to lysophosphatidic acid in the synthesis of triacylglycerol. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4q21.23

Description of this Gene: glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding
