GenAge entry for AGPAT2 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 187)

HGNC symbol
AGPAT2 
Aliases
LPAAT-beta; BSCL 
Common name
1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

AGPAT2 is a phospholipid with diverse biologic activities. Mutations in the human AGPAT2 gene have been associated with Bernardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy, a possible segmental progeroid syndrome [151].
