GPAM, Official Symbol GPAMprovided by HGNC Official Full Name glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, mitochondrialprovided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:24865 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000119927 MIM:602395; AllianceGenome:HGNC:24865 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GPAT; GPAT1 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.
