dgat2

Gene
DGAT2
Protein
Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2
Organism
Homo sapiens
Length
388 amino acids
Function
Essential acyltransferase that catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for synthesis and storage of intracellular triglycerides (PubMed:27184406). Probably plays a central role in cytosolic lipid accumulation. In liver, is primarily responsible for incorporating endogenously synthesized fatty acids into triglycerides (By similarity). Functions also as an acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT).
Similarity
Belongs to the diacylglycerol acyltransferase family.
