Summary
GPAT4 (glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4, HGNC:20880) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p11.21, encoding Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase 4 (Q86UL3). Converts glycerol-3-phosphate to 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone.
Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferases (EC 2.3.1.51) catalyze the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA). LPA and PA are involved in signal transduction and lipid biosynthesis.

- we have cloned a novel human gene and this gene may play an important role in human spermatogenesis and sexual maturation. (PMID:16625827)
- AGPAT6 is a microsomal GPAT, and we propose renaming this enzyme GPAT4. (PMID:18238778)
- Results reveal a link between the lipogenic effects of insulin and microsomal GPAT3 and GPAT4, implying their importance in glycerolipid biosynthesis. (PMID:20181984)
- None of the eleven AGPAT6 variants were robustly associated with type 2 diabetes in the Danish. (PMID:24156295)

Function. Converts glycerol-3-phosphate to 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. Active against both saturated and unsaturated long-chain fatty acyl-CoAs. Protects cells against lipotoxicity.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. High levels in testis. Relatively high level of expression in skeletal muscle and heart. Relatively low level of expression in lung.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by N-ethylmaleimide (NEM).
Domain organisation. The HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate.
Pathway. Phospholipid metabolism; CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis; CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 1/3.
Similarity. Belongs to the 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 115 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
