Gene information for MOGAT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80168
Official gene symbolMOGAT2
Full namemonoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2
Aliases,DGAT2L5,FLJ22644,MGAT2,MGC119183,MGC119184,MGC119185,
Gene summaryDietary fat absorption from the small intestine is facilitated by acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol transferase (MOGAT; EC 2.3.1.22) and acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT; see MIM 604900) activities. MOGAT catalyzes the joining of monoacylglycerol and fatty acyl-CoAs to form diacylglycerol (Yen and Farese, 2003 [PubMed 12621063]).[supplied by OMIM]
