Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylglycerophosphate (PGP) synthase catalyzes the first step in the cardiolipin (CL) branch of phospholipid biosynthesis in mammalian cells. In this study, we isolated a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cDNA encoding a putative protein similar in sequence to the yeast PGS1 gene product, PGP synthase. The gene for the isolated CHO cDNA was named PGS1. Expression of the CHO PGS1 cDNA in CHO-K1 cells and...
