Summary: Enables glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in triglyceride biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid homeostasis; glycerolipid metabolic process; and negative regulation of activation-induced cell death of T cells. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GPAM (glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
