LYCAT, a homologue of C. elegans acl-8,acl-9, and acl-10, determines the fatty acid composition of phosphatidylinositol in mice

Mammalian phosphatidylinositol (PI) has a unique fatty acid composition in that 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl species is predominant. This fatty acid composition is formed through fatty acid remodeling by sequential deacylation and reacylation. We recently identified three Caenorhabditis elegans acyltra...
