| Function |
Lysophoshatidylglycerol (LPG) specific acyltransferase that recognizes various acyl-CoAs and LPGs as substrates but demonstrates a clear preference for long chain saturated fatty acyl-CoAs and oleoyl-CoA as acyl donors. Prefers oleoyl-LPG over palmitoyl-LPG as an acyl receptor and oleoyl-CoA over lauroyl-CoA as an acyl donor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15485873}.

| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15485873}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15485873}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in liver and placenta. Also expressed in peripheral blood, lung, kidney and brain. Detected at lower levels in colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15485873}.
