FEATURES

FAMILY

CDP-alcohol phosphatidyltransferase class-I family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as CRD1_YEAST, CRD1, CLS1. Catalyzes the synthesis of cardiolipin (CL) (diphosphatidylglycerol) by specifically transferring a phosphatidyl group from CDP-diacylglycerol to phosphatidylglycerol (PG). CL is a key phospholipid in mitochondrial membranes and plays important roles in maintaining the functional integrity and dynamics of mitochondria under both optimal and stress conditions.
