Summary
Predicted to enable 1-acylglycerophosphocholine O-acyltransferase activity; 1-acylglycerophosphoethanolamine O-acyltransferase activity; and 1-acylglycerophosphoserine O-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerophospholipid metabolic process; lipid modification; and regulation of chondrocyte differentiation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Orthologous to human MBOAT2 (membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
