MBOAT7

Lysophospholipid acyltransferase 7 also known as membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain-containing protein 7 (MBOAT7) is an is_associated_with::enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MBOAT7 is_associated_with::gene. It is homologous to other membrane-bound O-acyltransferases.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the membrane-bound O-is_associated_with::acyltransferases family of integral membrane proteins that have acyltransferase activity. The encoded protein is a lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase that has specificity for arachidonoyl-CoA as an acyl donor. This protein is involved in the re-is_associated_with::acylation of is_associated_with::phospholipids as part of the phospholipid remodeling pathway known as the Land cycle.
