Lpcat1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity and 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidylcholine acyl-chain remodeling and phospholipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; positive regulation of protein catabolic process; and surfactant homeostasis. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; lipid droplet; and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human LPCAT1 (lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Lpcat1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
