[HTML][HTML] Enzymatic activities of the human AGPAT isoform 3 and isoform 5: localization of AGPAT5 to mitochondria [S]

SS Prasad, A Garg, AK Agarwal - Journal of lipid research, 2011 - ASBMB
The enzyme 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate-O-acyltransferase (AGPAT) converts
lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA). In this study, we show enzymatic
properties, tissue distribution, and subcellular localization of human AGPAT3 and AGPAT5.
In cells overexpressing these isoforms, the proteins were detected in the nuclear envelope
and the endoplasmic reticulum. AGPAT5-GFP fusion protein was localized in the
mitochondria of both Chinese hamster ovary and human epithelial cervical cancer cells …
