Gene: LPGAT1

Alternate names for this Gene: FAM34A|FAM34A1|NET8

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the lysophospholipid acyltransferase family. The encoded protein catalyzes the reacylation of lysophosphatidylglycerol to phosphatidylglycerol, a membrane phospholipid that is an important precursor for the synthesis of cardiolipin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1q32.3

Description of this Gene: lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
