Pradeep Kumar Sheokand, Denis Lacabanne, Andrew M. James, Stefania Della Vecchia et al.

Short summary

The endoplasmic reticulum protein CLN8, implicated in Batten disease, is a stereospecific acyltransferase that converts S,S-glycerophosphoglycerol into S,S-lysophosphatidylglycerol, a key precursor for bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP) synthesis.
