Disease relevance of AGPAT6

  • The results of heat stress experiment demonstrate that TSARG7 expression has a relation with temperature [1].
 

High impact information on AGPAT6

  • Thus, we identified a novel glycerolipid acyltransferase of the ER, AGPAT6, which is crucial for the production of milk fat by the mammary gland [2].
  • We have generated a mouse model deficient in AGPAT6, which is normally expressed at high levels in brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose tissue (WAT), and liver [3].
  • AGPAT6, which is predicted to contain multiple membrane-spanning helices, is found exclusively within the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in mammalian cells [2].
  • Northern blot analysis showed that LPAAT-zeta was ubiquitously expressed in all 16 human tissues examined, with levels in the skeletal muscle, heart, and testis being relatively high and in the lung being relatively low [4].
  • The human LPAAT-zeta gene consisted of 13 exons and is positioned at chromosome 8p11.21 [4].
