Background Information
1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase beta (AGPAT2) belongs to a family of enzymes catalyzing the sn-2 acylation of the glycerol-3-phosphate backbone. AGPAT2 is highly expressed in adipose tissues, liver, and skeletal muscle. AGPAT2 is the only AGPAT isoform whose loss-of-function mutations cause a severe form of human congenital generalized lipodystrophy (PMID: 34824276). Human and mouse AGPAT2 have a calculated molecular mass of 31 kDa, and an alternatively spliced form of AGPAT2 mRNA, encoding a protein of 246 rather than 278 amino acids, is also found in human (PMID: 19336658). Western detected AGPAT2 at an apparent molecular mass of 27 kDa.
