This gene is a member of the TAFA family which encode small secreted proteins. These proteins are distantly related to MIP-1alpha, a member of the CC-chemokine family. The TAFA proteins are predominantly expressed in specific regions of the brain, and are postulated to function as brain-specific chemokines or neurokines, that act as regulators of immune and nervous cells (Tom et al. 2004). The finding lies within/near linkage regions for schizophrenia from primary and meta-analysis studies (Arinami et al. 2005; Lewis et al. 2003)Site known for CNVsrs1202199Dominant8.52E-06620264153In intron of MBOAT1MBOAT1 shares structural similarity with a superfamily of membrane-bound O-acetyltransferases that transfer organic compounds, usually fatty acids (e.g., cholesterol, diacylglycerol, palmitoyl), onto hydroxyl groups of membrane-embedded targets. By this way MBOAT1 is essential for membrane asymmetry and diversity. Expression in many tissues including brain.
