UniProt Comments
Involved in the synthesis of diacylglycerol galactolipids that are specifically found in thylakoid membranes. Specific for alpha-glycosidic linkages (PubMed:11696551, PubMed:14600212). During phosphate shortage, involved in the biosynthesis of digalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG) which rescues the limitation of phospholipids (Probable).
