Protein
Probable cardiolipin synthase (CMP-forming)
Organism
Caenorhabditis elegans
Function
Catalyzes the synthesis of cardiolipin (CL) (diphosphatidylglycerol) by specifically transferring a phosphatidyl group from CDP-diacylglycerol to phosphatidylglycerol (PG). CL is a key phospholipid in mitochondrial membranes and plays important roles in maintaining the functional integrity and dynamics of mitochondria under both optimal and stress conditions.
Similarity
Belongs to the CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family.
