The cholesterol esters are then stored as cytoplasmic lipid droplets inside the cell. The enzyme is implicated in cholesterol absorption in the intestine and in the assembly and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins such as very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

sterol O-acyltransferase 1

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the acyltransferase family. It is located in the endoplasmic reticulum, and catalyzes the formation of fatty acid-cholesterol esters. This gene has been implicated in the formation of beta-amyloid and atherosclerotic plaques by controlling the equilibrium between free cholesterol and cytoplasmic cholesteryl esters. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011]

glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrial pseudogene

glycine-N-acyltransferase pseudogene

glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 3

This gene encodes a member of the lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase protein family. The encoded protein is an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to lysophosphatidic acid in the synthesis of triacylglycerol. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4

Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases (EC 2.3.1.51) catalyze the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA). LPA and PA are involved in signal transduction and lipid biosynthesis.[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2004]

phospholipase A and acyltransferase 3

Enables N-acyltransferase activity; lipid binding activity; and phospholipase activity. Involved in N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including lysosome; nuclear envelope; and peroxisome. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Biomarker of seminoma.

phospholipase A and acyltransferase 4

Retinoids exert biologic effects such as potent growth inhibitory and cell differentiation activities and are used in the treatment of hyperproliferative dermatological diseases. These effects are mediated by specific nuclear receptor proteins that are members of the steroid and thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of transcriptional regulators. RARRES1, RARRES2, and RARRES3 are genes whose expression is upregulated by the synthetic retinoid tazarotene. RARRES3 is thought act as a tumor suppressor or growth regulator.

phospholipase A and acyltransferase 1

Enables acyltransferase activity, transferring groups other than amino-acyl groups and phospholipase activity. Involved in N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process and phosphatidylcholine metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

phospholipase A and acyltransferase 2

The protein encoded by this gene has both phospholipase and acyltransferase activities and acts as a tumor suppressor. The encoded protein can hydrolyze dipalmitoylated phosphatidylcholine (PC) to palmitic acid and lyso-PC. In addition, this protein can catalyze the N-acylation of phosphatidylethanolamine and can catalyze the O-acylation of lyso-PC to form PC. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]

phospholipase A and acyltransferase 5

Enables N-acyltransferase activity; phospholipase A1 activity; and phospholipase A2 activity. Acts upstream of or within N-acylphosphatidylethanolamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

glycine-N-acyltransferase like 1B

Predicted to enable glutamine N-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutamine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
