NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase family protein;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes a putative dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) reductase involved in glycerol-3-phosphate supply within the chloroplast for synthesis of glycerolipids. Mutants have reduced levels of hexadecatrienoic acid, which is rescued by exogenous glycerol-3-phosphate. This gene appears to be involved in the flux of fatty acids in the prokaryotic glyerolipid biosynthesis pathway.
