Protein
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 1
Organism
Arabidopsis thaliana
Function
Esterifies acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate, an essential step in glycerolipid biosynthesis. Involved in pollen development, by being required for tapetum differentiation and male fertility. In addition to the sporophytic effect, it also exerts a gametophytic effect on pollen performance.
Similarity
Belongs to the GPAT/DAPAT family.
