This gene encodes an enzyme that converts lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) into phosphatidic acid (PA). Both LPA and PA are phospholipids involved in signal transduction and in lipid biosynthesis within cells. The enzyme is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. The gene is situated in the class III region of the human major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants, both of which encode the same protein.^[7]
