Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in phospholipid biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; positive regulation of protein catabolic process; and surfactant homeostasis. Located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; lung; nervous system; and vascular system. Orthologous to human LPCAT1 (lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1).
