Agpat6—a novel lipid biosynthetic gene required for triacylglycerol production in mammary epithelium
1 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
In analyzing the sequence tags for mutant mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines in BayGenomics (a mouse gene-trapping resource), we identified a novel gene, 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase (Agpat6), with sequence similarities to previously characterized glycerolipid acyltransferases. Agpat6's closest family member is another novel gene that we have provisionally designated Agpat8. Both Agpat6 and...
