Converts glycerol-3-phosphate to 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (lysophosphatidic acid or LPA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. Also converts LPA into 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (phosphatidic acid or PA) by incorporating an acyl moiety at the sn-2 position of the glycerol backbone. Protects cells against lipotoxicity. an acyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA a 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + an acyl-CoA = a 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA dodecanoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-dodecanoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate + CoA hexadecanoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-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 + 1-tetradecanoyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate = 1-tetradecanoyl-2-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate = 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate = 1,2-di-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-(6Z,9Z,12Z-octadecatrienoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate = (6Z,9Z,12Z)-octadecatrienoyl-2-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadecatrienoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate = 1-(9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadecatrienoyl-2-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + tetradecanoyl-CoA = 1-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-2-tetradecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + hexadecanoyl-CoA = 1-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-2-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + octadecanoyl-CoA = 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-2-octadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoyl-CoA + 1-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate = 1-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-2-(9Z,12Z)-octadecadienoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA (9Z)-octadecenoyl-CoA + 1-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphate = 1-(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoyl-2-(9Z)-octadecenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate + CoA Glycerolipid metabolism; triacylglycerol biosynthesis. Phospholipid metabolism; CDP-diacylglycerol biosynthesis; CDP-diacylglycerol from sn-glycerol 3-phosphate: step 1/3. 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 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase family.
