Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables glycerone-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell junction assembly; cerebellum morphogenesis; and ether lipid biosynthetic process. Located in peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study disease of mental health and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata type 2. Orthologous to human GNPAT (glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase).
