Dataset Pathway Commons Protein-Protein Interactions
Category physical interactions
Type interacting protein
Description lecithin retinol acyltransferase (phosphatidylcholine--retinol O-acyltransferase)|The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum, where it catalyzes the esterification of all-trans-retinol into all-trans-retinyl ester. This reaction is an important step in vitamin A metabolism in the visual system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early-onset severe retinal dystrophy and Leber congenital amaurosis 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
