ABHD5

Also known as CDS, CGI58, IECN2, NCIE2, abhydrolase domain containing 5, abhydrolase domain containing 5, lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase

1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase ABHD5, also known as comparative gene identification-58 (CGI-58), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ABHD5 gene.

Gene data

ABHD5

Name: abhydrolase domain containing 5, lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CGI58, IECN2, NCIE2

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to a large family of proteins defined by an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, and contains three sequence motifs that correspond to a catalytic triad found in the esterase/lipase/thioesterase subfamily. It differs from other members of this subfamily in that its putative catalytic triad contains an asparagine instead of the serine residue. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome, a triglyceride storage disease with impaired long-chain fatty acid oxidation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
