| Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 210992 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Some mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit neonatal lethality associated with respiratory distress, cyanosis, atelectasis, lung hemorrhage, and defective surfactant function.
