MBOAT2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: MBOAT2
  • Official Name: membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 129642
  • UniProt: Q6ZWT7
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Acyltransferase which mediates the conversion of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (1-acyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphoethanolamine or LPE) into phosphatidylethanolamine (1,2- diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine or PE) (LPEAT activity). Catalyzes also the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA) (LPAAT activity). Has also a very weak lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase (LPCAT activity). Prefers oleoyl-CoA as the acyl donor. Lysophospholipid acyltransferases (LPLATs) catalyze the reacylation step of the phospholipid remodeling pathway also known as the Lands cycle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18772128}.
