This gene encodes a member of the membrane-bound
O-acyltransferases family of integral membrane proteins that have
acyltransferase activity. The encoded protein is a
lysophosphatidylinositol acyltransferase that has specificity for
arachidonoyl-CoA as an acyl donor. This protein is involved in the
reacylation of phospholipids as part of the phospholipid remodeling
pathway known as the Land cycle. Alternative splicing results in
multiple transcript variants.
