DGAT2 - diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as ARAT; HMFN1045; GS1999FULL
Species: Homo sapiens
About DGAT2
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 221 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in fat (RPKM 381.0), liver (RPKM 87.8) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
This gene encodes one of two Enzymes which catalyzes the final reaction in the synthesis of triglycerides in which diacylglycerol is covalently bound to long chain fatty acyl-CoAs. The encoded protein catalyzes this reaction at low concentrations of magnesium chloride while the Other enzyme has high activity at high concentrations of magnesium chloride. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]
