Protein
Monogalactosyldiacylglycerol synthase 2, chloroplastic
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Involved in the synthesis of the major structural component of photosynthetic membranes and in the chloroplast envelope biogenesis. Can use both prokaryotic (18:1/16:0) or eukaryotic (18:2/18:2) 1,2-diacylglycerol species, but operates with some preference for the eukaryotic one.
Similarity
Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 28 family.
