Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables phosphatidylcholine-retinol O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in retinol metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; positive regulation of lipid transport; and vitamin A metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; gut; midbrain; reproductive system; and retina. Used to study Leber congenital amaurosis 14. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 14 and retinitis pigmentosa. Orthologous to human LRAT (lecithin retinol acyltransferase).
