AGPAT2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human AGPAT2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9q34.3 and is approximately 14 kb in length. This allele, which encodes 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase beta protein, is involved in the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid to yield phosphatidic acid. Mutations in the gene are associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy (Berardinelli-Seip) type 1.
