Rabbit polyclonal antibody to LPCAT2

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.
