LPAT2 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnLPAT2 (DARMORV10_A07P23560.1) on chromosome A07 encodes a protein with an acyltransferase C domain and a phospholipid/glycerol acyltransferase domain, and is annotated with lysophosphatidate acyltransferase activity and protein binding. The gene is associated with the Kennedy pathway, glycerolipid, diacylglycerol, CDP-diacylglycerol, galactolipid, and starch anabolism, as well as malonyl-CoA, long-chain and very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism, lipogenesis, lipid homeostasis, lipid storage, and adiposome formation. It localizes to the adiposome, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, endomembrane system, and extracellular region. LPAT2 is linked to seed size, seed oil production, phospholipid content, photosynthetic rate, and plant development including vegetative, root, and reproductive growth. Related genes in other species connect the family to embryo development, triacylglycerol composition, and female gametophyte development.
