Gene information for AGPAT1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10554
Official gene symbolAGPAT1
Full name1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 1 (lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase, alpha)
Aliases,1-AGPAT1,G15,LPAAT-alpha,LPAATA,MGC4007,MGC5423,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme that converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA). LPA and PA are two phospholipids involved in signal transduction and in lipid biosynthesis in cells. This enzyme localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum. This gene is located in the class III region of the human major histocompatibility complex. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]
