Facts about Lysocardiolipin acyltransferase 1.
Recognizes both monolysocardiolipin and dilysocardiolipin as substrates with a preference for linoleoyl-CoA and oleoyl-CoA as acyl donors. Acts as a remodeling enzyme for cardiolipin, a significant membrane polyglycerophospholipid.

Widely expressed with highest expression in heart, liver and E12.5 aorta-gonad-mesonephros and lower levels in the E16 fetal liver and adult bone marrow. In bone marrow, highest levels are found in B-cells compared with whole bone marrow, T- cells, erythrocytes, and granulocytes.
