Name

AOMS1 Gene

Abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome QTL1

AOMS2 Gene

abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome QTL2

LRAT Gene

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.

PLD1 Gene

phospholipase D1, phosphatidylcholine-specific

This gene encodes a phosphatidylcholine-specific phospholipase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine in order to yield phosphatidic acid and choline. The enzyme may play a role in signal transduction and subcellular trafficking. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants with both catalytic and regulatory properties.

PCTP Gene

phosphatidylcholine transfer protein

Enables phosphatidylcholine binding activity and phosphatidylcholine transporter activity. Involved in phospholipid transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

ASMER1 Gene

adipocyte associated metabolic related lncRNA 1
