The function of ENSG00000011198 (ABHD5, abhydrolase domain containing 5, lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase) is as follows. Coenzyme A-dependent lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group on a lysophosphatidic acid (PubMed:18606822). Functions preferentially with 1-oleoyl- lysophosphatidic acid followed by 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidic acid, 1- stearoyl-lysophosphatidic acid and 1-arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidic acid as lipid acceptor. Functions preferentially with arachidonoyl-CoA followed by oleoyl-CoA as acyl group donors (By similarity). Functions in phosphatidic acid biosynthesis (PubMed:18606822). May regulate the cellular storage of triacylglycerol through activation of the phospholipase PNPLA2 (PubMed:16679289). Involved in keratinocyte differentiation (PubMed:18832586). Regulates lipid droplet fusion (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9DBL9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16679289, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18606822, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18832586}.
