Lysophospholipid acyltransferase 7 (Mboat7)

Acyltransferase which contributes to the regulation of free arachidonic acid (AA) from the cell through the remodeling of phospholipids. Mediates the conversion of lysophosphatidylinositol (1-acylglycerophosphatidylinositol or LPI) into phosphatidylinositol (1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoinositol or PI) (LPIAT action ).

Prefers arachidonoyl-CoA as the acyl donor (PubMed:23097495). Lysophospholipid acyltransferases (LPLATs) catalyze the reacylation measure of the phospholipid remodeling pathway also known as the Lands cycle (By similarity).
