Abstract

Glycerol-3-phosphate (1)-acyltransferase(G3PAT) catalyzes the incorporation of an acyl group from either acyl-acyl carrier proteins (acylACPs) or acyl-CoAs into the sn-1 position of glycerol 3-phosphate to yield 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate [ 1 ]. Glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) plays an important role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolic processes [ 2 ].
