Lysophospholipid Acyltransferases (LPLATs) of Glycerophospholipid Biosynthesis: AGPAT-like
Lysophospholipid acyltransferase (LPLAT) superfamily member: acyltransferases of de novo and remodeling pathways of glycerophospholipid biosynthesis which catalyze the incorporation of an acyl group from either acylCoAs or acyl-acyl carrier proteins (acylACPs) into acceptors such as glycerol 3-phosphate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate or lyso-phosphatidic acid. Included in this subgroup are such LPLATs as 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT, PlsC), Tafazzin (product of Barth syndrome gene), and similar proteins.
