LPAT2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CSA07G046450 (symbol LPAT2, preferred name CsLPAT4) encodes a lysophosphatidate acyltransferase with EC 2.3.1.51 activity, placing it in the acyltransferase family with an acyltransf_C domain. This Camelina sativa gene on chromosome 7 is associated with CDP-diacylglycerol anabolism and fatty acid elongation. The encoded protein localises to the endomembrane system, ER membrane, and mitochondria. CsLPAT4 is associated with oleic acid content, seed size, nitrogen starvation response, glycerolipid and phospholipid biosynthesis, and triacylglycerol accumulation.
