Function

• role in acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate
• phospholipid metabolism; CDP- diacylglycerol biosynthesis
• CDP- diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 1/3
  

• acyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate <--> CoA + 1-acyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate

Structure

• HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity & may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate ( putative)
• belongs to the GPAT/ DAPAT family
