Gene symbol DGAT2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ARATGS1999FULLHMFN1045
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q13.5
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 magne
