About DGAT1

Cytogenetic location: 8q24.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 8:144,314,584-144,326,852 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 262 orthologues, 2 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Broad expression in small intestine (RPKM 98.7), duodenum (RPKM 96.5) and 20 other tissues.

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
