Summary

PMID 20663880

[Homo sapiens] LPCAT2 is highly expressed in inflammatory cells and is activated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment through Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and LPCAT2 phosphorylation through LPS-TLR4 signalling may directly depend on MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK2).

Entrez Gene

Summary

This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000087253:
This gene encodes a member of the lysophospholipid acyltransferase family. The encoded enzyme may function in two ways: to catalyze the biosynthesis of platelet-activating factor (1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) from 1-O-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, and to catalyze the synthesis of glycerophospholipid precursors from arachidonyl-CoA and lysophosphatidylcholine. The encoded protein may function in membrane biogenesis and production of platelet-activating factor in inflammatory cells. The enzyme may localize to the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi.
