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].
