The protein encoded by this gene is an acyltransferase that converts lysophosphatidic acid into phosphatidic acid, which is the second step in the de novo phospholipid biosynthetic pathway. The encoded protein may be an integral membrane protein. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],catalytic activity:Acyl-CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = CoA + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.,domain:The HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate.,function:Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone.,pathway:Phospholipid metabolism, CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis, CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 2/3.,similarity:Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.,
