Background
This gene encodes an multipass transmembrane protein that functions as a key metabolic enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes the conversion of diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA to triacylglycerol. This enzyme can also transfer acyl CoA to retinol. Activity of this protein may be associated with obesity and other metabolic diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013],
Function
catalytic activity:Acyl-CoA + 1,2-diacylglycerol = CoA + triacylglycerol.,function:Catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. In contrast to DGAT2 it is not essential for survival. May be involved in VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) assembly.,pathway:Lipid metabolism; glycerolipid metabolism.,similarity:Belongs to the membrane-bound acyltransferase family. Sterol o-acyltransferase subfamily.,
