Function

This gene encodes one of two enzymes which catalyzes the final reaction in the synthesis of triglycerides in which diacylglycerol is covalently bound to long chain fatty acyl-CoAs. The encoded protein catalyzes this reaction at low concentrations of magnesium chloride while the other enzyme has high activity at high concentrations of magnesium chloride. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

gollark: You need 3A for the Pi + possibly high-current USB devices. It *might* be okay if you don't do anything heavy on it and don't have any of those.
gollark: Those cannot always deliver enough power.
gollark: Maybe your network or power supply is wrong.
