This gene encodes a member of the 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase family. This integral membrane protein converts lysophosphatidic acid to phosphatidic acid, the second step in de novo phospholipid biosynthesis. A pseudogene of this gene is present on the Y chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2014],catalytic activity:Acyl-CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = CoA + 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate.,caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-12 is the initiator.,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.,
