Summary: Enables 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidic acid biosynthetic process and positive regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; nervous system; respiratory system; and urinary system. Used to study congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1 and lipodystrophy. Orthologous to human AGPAT2 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
