monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1

Symbol

MOGAT1 (may also be known as: None)

Organism

Human

Description

Acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MOGAT; EC 2.3.1.22) catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerols, the precursor of physiologically important lipids such as triacylglycerol and phospholipids (Yen et al., 2002 [PubMed 12077311]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
