Entrez Gene summary for DGAT2 Gene:

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)

GeneCards Summary for DGAT2 Gene:

DGAT2 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with DGAT2 include fatty liver disease, and hepatoblastoma. GO annotations related to this gene include diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity and protein homodimerization activity. An important paralog of this gene is MOGAT3.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: DGAT2_HUMAN, Q96PD7

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)
