CLASS OF ENZYMES
Dgat; Dgat1; Dgat2; Dgat-1; Dgat-2; Diacylglycerol acyltransferase; Diglyceride o-acyltransferase; Diacylglycerol o-acyltransferase; Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase; EC 2.3.1.20; Acyl-CoA:1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerol O-acyltransferase; DGAT
Diglyceride acyltransferase (or O-acyltransferase), DGAT, catalyzes the formation of triglycerides from diacylglycerol and fatty acyl-CoA]. The reaction catalyzed by DGAT is considered the terminal and only committed step in triglyceride synthesis.
