background:
Acyl-CoA:lysocardiolipin acyltransferase. Possesses both lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase (LPIAT) and lysophosphatidylglycerol acyltransferase (LPGAT) activities. Recognizes both monolysocardiolipin and dilysocardiolipin as substrates with a preference for linoleoyl-CoA and oleoyl-CoA as acyl donors. Acts as a remodeling enzyme for cardiolipin, a major membrane polyglycerophospholipid. Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA) with a relatively low activity. Required for establishment of the hematopoietic and endothelial lineages.
Subcellular Location:
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed at higher level in heart, kidney and pancreas than in brain, spleen, liver, lung, small intestine and placenta.
Similarity:
Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.
