Agpat2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in epidermis development and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1 and lipodystrophy. Orthologous to human AGPAT2 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 Agpat2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
