Function
The ROD1 antibody targets an enzyme that functions as phosphatidylcholine:diacylglycerol cholinephosphotransferase. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of the phosphocholine headgroup from phosphatidylcholine (PC) to diacylglycerol. This reaction is crucial for the transfer of 18:1 fatty acid into phosphatidylcholine for desaturation, and also for the reverse transfer of 18:2 and 18:3 fatty acids into the triacylglycerols synthesis pathway.
