Expression and regulation of 1-acyl-sn-glycerol- 3-phosphate acyltransferases in the epidermis

Expression and regulation of 1-acyl-sn-glycerol- 3-phosphate acyltransferases in the epidermis

Phospholipids are a major class of lipids in epidermis, where they serve as a source of free fatty acids that are important for the maintenance of epidermal permeability barrier function. The phospholipid biosynthetic enzyme, 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT), catalyzes the acyl...
