Lpcat1 - lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1

Enables O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in phospholipid biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; positive regulation of protein catabolic process; and surfactant homeostasis. Located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; lung; nervous system; and vascular system. Orthologous to human LPCAT1 (lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
