Rattus norvegicus

Also known as ARAT; Dgat

Gene ID: 84497 | Gene type: protein coding

About Dgat1

Summary

Enables diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity; diacylglycerol binding activity; and fatty acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Insulin secretion; positive regulation of hepatic stellate cell activation; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle and plasma membrane. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease and nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy and congenital diarrhea 7 with exudative enteropathy. Orthologous to human DGAT1 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1).
