Rabbit anti-Human AGPAT3 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9NRZ7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

AGPAT3

Target Full Name

1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gamma

Target Function

Converts 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) into 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (phosphatidic acid or PA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. Acts on LPA containing saturated or unsaturated fatty acids C16:0-C20:4 at the sn-1 position using C18:1, C20:4 or C18:2-CoA as the acyl donor. Also acts on lysophosphatidylcholine, lysophosphatidylinositol and lysophosphatidylserine using C18:1 or C20:4-CoA. Has a preference for arachidonoyl-CoA as a donor. Has also a modest lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase (LPIAT) activity, converts lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) into phosphatidylinositol.

Target Subcellular Location

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Nucleus envelope.

Target Protein Families

1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family

Target Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed with highest levels in testis, pancreas and kidney, followed by spleen, lung, adipose tissue and liver.

Target Synonyms

AGPAT3; LPAAT3; UNQ759/PRO1490; 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gamma; 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 3; 1-AGP acyltransferase 3; 1-AGPAT 3; Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase gamma; LPAAT-gamma

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is an acyltransferase that converts lysophosphatidic acid into phosphatidic acid, which is the second step in the de novo phospholipid biosynthetic pathway. The encoded protein may be an integral membrane protein. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.
