Abstract:Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases/acylglycerophosphate acyltransferases (LPAATs/AGPATs) are a group of homologous enzymes that catalyze the formation of phosphatidic acid (PA) from lysophosphatidic acid. We have previously reported that LPAATδ/AGPAT4 localizes to mitochondria, suggesting a potential role in energy metabolism. However, in prior studies of young Lpaatδ-deficient mice (age 9–12 weeks old), we found no differences in body weights, food intakes, activity levels, respiratory gas exchange, or en… Show more
