ncRNA Symbol: | GPAM | Full Name: | glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrial | Category: | mRNA | Synonyms: | GPAT|GPAT1 | Chromosome: | chr10 | Strand: | - | Coordinate: | Start Site(bp): | 112149864 | End Site(bp): | 112215377 | | Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme which prefers saturated fatty acids as its substrate for the synthesis of glycerolipids. This metabolic pathway's first step is catalyzed by the encoded enzyme. Two forms for this enzyme exist, one in the mitochondria and one in the endoplasmic reticulum. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011] | External Links: | |
