Name Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2
Synonyms
  1. Diglyceride acyltransferase 2
  2. Acyl-CoA retinol O-fatty-acyltransferase
  3. ARAT
  4. Retinol O-fatty-acyltransferase
Gene Name DGAT2
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups
Specific 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. 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).
Pathways
  • Fat digestion and absorption
  • Glycerolipid metabolism
  • triacylglycerol biosynthesis
