Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables glycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in triglyceride biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fatty acid homeostasis; glycerolipid metabolic process; and negative regulation of activation-induced cell death of T cells. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GPAM (glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial).
