2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1; monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1; acyl CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 1; MGAT1; diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2-like protein 1; diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase candidate 2; hDC2 (MOGAT1, DC2, DGAT2L1)

Function

• catalyzes formation of diacylglycerol from 2-monoacylglycerol & fatty acyl-CoA
• Probably not involved in absorption of dietary fat in the small intestine
• triacylglycerol synthesis

Acyl-CoA + 2-acylglycerol <--> CoA + diacylglycerol

Structure

belongs to the diacylglycerol acyltransferase family

Compartment

endoplasmic reticulum membrane

More general terms

• acyltransferase
• transmembrane 3 protein
• glycoprotein
