AGPAT2

AGPAT2 (1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase 2) is an essential enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, specifically in the synthesis of phospholipids and triglycerides. It catalyzes the conversion of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) to phosphatidic acid (PA), a critical step in the Kennedy pathway for triacylglycerol production. AGPAT2 plays important roles in adipocyte differentiation, lipid storage, and membrane formation. Dysregulation of AGPAT2 activity has been linked to metabolic conditions such as obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia, while mutations in the AGPAT2 gene are associated with congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 1 (CGL1), a rare genetic disorder affecting fat distribution.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
