Esterifies acyl-group from acyl-ACP to the sn-1 position of glycerol-3-phosphate, an essential step in glycerolipids biosynthesis such as triglycerides, phosphatidic acids and lysophosphatidic acids. an acyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-(9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA octadecanoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-octadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA hexadecanoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA dodecanoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-dodecanoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + CoA 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-sn-glycerol) + an acyl-CoA = 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-sn-glycerol) + CoA Phospholipid metabolism; CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis; CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 1/3. Highest levels in liver, intermediate levels in muscle and kidney, and lowest levels in lung and brain. The HXXXXD motif is essential for acyltransferase activity and may constitute the binding site for the phosphate moiety of the glycerol-3-phosphate. Belongs to the GPAT/DAPAT family.
