UniProt Comments
Converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid by incorporating acyl moiety at the 2 position. Has preference for C-16-CoA substrates compared to C-18-CoA substrates. Essential for embryo development during the transition from the globular to the heart stage when chloroplasts begin to form.
