Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmboa-7 encodes a lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI)-specific acyltransferase which acts on the sn-2 hydroxyl of glycerol (sn-2 LPIAT); MBOA-7 is required in vivo for the incorporation of externally supplemented polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) into the sn-2 position of phosphatidylinositol (PI), as well as for most LPIAT activity in microsomes, progression through larval development, normal egg-laying, and (with FAT-1 and FAT-4) normally rapid growth at low temperature; membrane vesicles expressing MBOA-7 or its human ortholog show elevated LPIAT activity; mboa-7 is expressed ubiquitously, throughout development from embryogenesis to adulthood, with high expression in pharyngeal muscles, body wall muscles, vulval cells, distal tip cells, intestinal cells, and adult spermatheca; residue H350 of MBOA-7 is essential for its biochemical activity in membrane vesicles; mboa-7 mutants have abnormally low levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in the sn-2 position of PI, and fail to have their growth rescued by supplementary arachidonic acid (AA) or EPA in their diet.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00027263

Automated_descriptionEnables O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in egg-laying behavior; nematode larval development; and phosphatidylinositol biosynthetic process. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Expressed in several structures, including hermaphrodite distal tip cell; intestine; pharyngeal muscle cell; spermatheca; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 57. Is an ortholog of human MBOAT7 (membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (14)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
