Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DGAT1 gene.[1]

Function

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.[2][3] This enzyme is essential for lactation in mice[3], and mutations in this gene affect the composition and volume of milk produced by both cattle[4] and goats[5].
