    basic FUNCTION
  • N-ethylmaleimide (NEM)-sensitive isoforms in microsomes and mitochondrialikely having a specialized function in testis (Wang 2007)
  • catalyzes the initial and rate-limiting step in glycerolipid synthesis (Wang 2007)
  • minor NEM-sensitive mitochondrial isoform (Gimeno 2008)
  • can play important roles in the development of hepatic steatosis, insulin resistance, and obesity (Gimeno 2008)
