Thematic Review Series: Glycerolipids. Mammalian glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases: new genes for an old activity

Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferases (GPATs; EC2.3.1.15) catalyze the first step in the de novo synthesis of neutral lipids (triglycerides) and glycerophospholipids. The existence of multiple enzyme isoforms with GPAT activity was predicted many years ago when GPAT activities with distinct kinetic...
