DGAT1, Official Symbol DGAT1provided by HGNC Official Full Name diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:2843 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000185000 MIM:604900; AllianceGenome:HGNC:2843 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as ARAT; DGAT; ARGP1; DIAR7 Summary 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.
