Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 2, mitochondrial (GPAT2)

Esterifies acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate, an important step in glycerolipid biosynthesis. Required for primary processing step during piRNA biosynthesis.

Molecular mechanisms by which it promotes piRNA biosynthesis are uncertain and do not involve its acyltransferase activity. .
