basic FUNCTION	involved in mesoderm and endoderm development
	primarily responsible for hepatic LPCAT activity
	plays a critical role in phosphatidylcholine remodeling in metabolic tissues and provide an invaluable tool for future investigations on how phosphatidylcholine remodeling may potentially impact glucose and lipid homeostasis
	primarily responsible for hepatic LPCAT activity
	LPCAT3 and MBOAT7 are implicated in arachidonate recycling, thus regulating free arachidonic acid levels and leukotriene synthesis in neutrophils
	lysophospholipid acyltransferase acting preferentially on lysoPC (LPC), lysoPS (LPS) and lysoPE (LPE)
	necessary role for lysophospholipid esterification in maintaining cellular function and structure
	signal-regulated enzyme that is centrally implicated in limiting free arachidonic acid levels in activated cells
	LPCAT3 and MBOAT7 are implicated in arachidonate recycling, thus regulating free arachidonic acid levels and leukotriene synthesis in neutrophils
