GPAM
Glycerol-3-phosphate
acyltransferase
1,
mitochondrial
is an
enzyme
that in
humans
is
encoded
by the
GPAM
gene.
Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase, which
catalyzes
the
initial
and committing
step
in
glycerolipid
biosynthesis
, is
predicted
to
play
a
pivotal
role in the
regulation
of
cellular
triacylglycerol
and
phospholipid
levels
. Two
mammalian
forms of
GPAT
have been
identified
on the
basis
of
localization
to either the
endoplasmic reticulum
or
mitochondria
.
