Target description

Lecithin retinol acyltransferase (UniProt: Q9JI60) (also known as EC:2.3.1.135) is encoded by the Lrat gene (Gene ID:79235) in mouse. Lecithin-retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) is an essential enzyme involved in the metabolism of retinoids, particularly vitamin A. LRAT contains a conserved domain crucial for its enzymatic activity. The primary function of LRAT is to catalyze the esterification of retinol to produce retinyl esters, a process vital for the storage and transport of vitamin A within the body. LRAT′s plays a role in the visual cycle as it contributes to the regeneration of visual pigments in the retina. The expression of LRAT is regulated by dietary vitamin A levels, and it is found in various tissues, including the liver, lungs, testis, and the eye. LRAT is primarily localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in the LRAT gene have been linked to a form of retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited retinal disease associated with progressive vision loss.
