LPAT2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA06G033370, designated LPAT2 on Camelina sativa chromosome 6, encodes a protein with an acyltransferase C-terminal domain. The gene is annotated for lysophosphatidate acyltransferase activity and is associated with CDP-diacylglycerol anabolism and fatty acid elongation. The protein localises to the endomembrane system, specifically the ER membrane. This gene has been connected to oleic acid content and seed size. Related genes in other species link the family to lysophosphatidate acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.51).
