Summary
Enables 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within phosphatidic acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human AGPAT1 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Agpat1-/- mice developed widespread disturbances of metabolism, sperm development, and neurologic function resulting from disrupted phospholipid homeostasis. AGPAT1 appears to serve important functions in the physiology of multiple organ systems. The Agpat1-deficient mouse provides an important model in which to study the contribution of phospholipid and triacylglycerol synthesis to physiology and diseases.

  2. observations strongly implicate AGPAT1 in the development of skeletal muscle, specifically to terminal differentiation. These findings are linked to the regulation of actin cytoskeleton

  3. mtGPAT1 might serve as a novel target for treatment of hepatic steatosis and hepatic insulin resistance and that long chain acyl-CoA's do not mediate fat-induced hepatic insulin resistance in this model.

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.
