Relevance to Autism
Homozygous variants in the MBOAT7 gene were identified in 16 affected individuals presenting with intellectual disability from six consanguineous families; ASD was documented in seven of these individuals according to the Childhood Autism Rating Scale, and three additional individuals showed clinical autistic features (Johansen et al., 2016).
Molecular Function
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.
