|
Function |
Esterifies acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate, an essential step in glycerolipid biosynthesis. Active against both saturated and unsaturated long- chain fatty acyl-CoAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18238778}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18238778}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18238778}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Ubiquitous. Relatively high level of expression in skeletal muscle, heart and testis. Relatively low level of expression in lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12938015, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18238778}.
