General Information

General Information Comment Organism
evolution three subtypes of monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase, MGAT, enzymes, MGAT1, MGAT2, and MGAT3: in a phylogenetic tree with inferred evolutionary relationships, MGAT3 shares higher sequence homology with the diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 enzyme than with MGAT1 or MGAT2, phylogenetic analysis Homo sapiens
malfunction the enzyme is involved in hepatic steatosis, characterized by an increase in intrahepatic triacylglycerol, is an important marker of metabolic dysfunction and is associated closely with insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. Inhibition of MGAT1 ameliorates hepatic steatosis in human liver Hep-G2 cell line, inhibition of MGAT1 by siRNA treatment efficiently ameliorates the lipid accumulation Homo sapiens
metabolism the enzyme is involved in triglyceride synthesis by catalyzing the formation of diacylglycerol from monoacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoAs Homo sapiens
physiological function monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 is regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma in human hepatocytes and increases lipid accumulation Homo sapiens
