Variant information Variant position: help 148 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LB/B The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Isoleucine (I) to Methionine (M) at position 148 (I148M, p.Ile148Met). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Similar physico-chemical property. Both residues are medium size and hydrophobic. The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 1 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Polymorphism: help Polymorphic variation at position 148 influences insulin secretion levels and obesity. In obese subjects the body mass index and waist are higher in carriers of the Ile-148 allele. The Ile-148 carriers also display decreased insulin secretion in response to oral glucose tolerance test. Met-148 allele carriers are seemingly more insulin resistant at a lower body mass index. Additional information on the polymorphism described.
Variant description: help Associated with increased hepatic fat content and serum aspartate aminotransferase concentrations; probable gain-of-function variant; 2-fold increase in 1-acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase/lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase activity; results on glycerolipid hydrolysis activity are controversial with reduction in triacylglycerol, diacylglycerol and monoacylglycerol hydrolase activity or no effect compared to wild-type in which this activity may be very low; does not affect subcellular location, nor association with lipid droplets. Any additional useful information about the variant.
Other resources: help Links to websites of interest for the variant.


Sequence information Variant position: help 148 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 481 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help LVSDFRSKDEVVDALVCSCF I PFYSGLIPPSFRGVRYVDGG The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.
Human                         LVSDFRSKDEVVDALVCSCFIPFYSGLIPPSFRGVRYVDGG

Mouse                         LVSEFHSKDEVVDALVCSCFIPLFSGLIPPSFRGERYVDGG

Sequence annotation in neighborhood: help The regions or sites of interest surrounding the variant. In general the features listed are posttranslational modifications, binding sites, enzyme active sites, local secondary structure or other characteristics reported in the cited references. The "Sequence annotation in neighborhood" lines have a fixed format:
  • Type: the type of sequence feature.
  • Positions: endpoints of the sequence feature.
  • Description: contains additional information about the feature.
