| Research Abstract |
I investigated lysophospholipid acyltransferases as target molecules to generate membrane diversity. Phospholipid composition, mRNA expression and activity of lysophospholipid acyltransferases were examined in differentiated cells (C3H 10T1/2 to adipocytes), mouse testis, and several stages of cell cycle. In this period, I could report that possible contribution of LPCAT3 to adipocyte function, storage of poluunsaturated fatty acids by LPAAT3 to maturate testis function, oscillation of PC-20:4 during cell cycle, and storage of palmitoleic acid (16:1) in PI. In the future, biological roles of lysophospholipid acyltransferases in cells should be further investigated.
