(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9227
Official gene symbolLRAT
Full namelecithin retinol acyltransferase (phosphatidylcholine--retinol O-acyltransferase)
Aliases,LCA14,MGC33103,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a microsomal enzyme that catalyzes the esterification of all-trans-retinol into all-trans-retinyl ester, an essential reaction for the retinoid cycle in visual system and vitamin A status in liver. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy. [provided by RefSeq]
