This protein also functions under the name acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2. DGAT2 has a molecular weight of approximately 40-45 kDa. The enzyme is mainly expressed in tissues like the liver adipose tissue and intestines where lipid metabolism is an important function.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nDGAT2 significantly contributes to energy storage and lipid homeostasis in cells. The protein is not usually known to be part of a larger macromolecular complex but it works in association with lipid droplets where the fats are stored. The enzyme's activity significantly impacts the regulation of intracellular triglyceride levels making it important for maintaining energy balance within the cell and the entire organism.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nThe role of DGAT2 is mainly tied to lipid metabolism particularly the triglyceride synthesis pathway. It directly assists in converting excess carbohydrates and other substrates into triglycerides for energy storage. DGAT2 works closely with proteins like DGAT1 another isoform involved in triacylglycerol synthesis and both contribute to maintaining adequate lipid storage and energy regulation within the body.\u003cbr\u003e\nDGAT2 has implications in metabolic diseases such as obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). An overexpression or increased activity of DGAT2 can lead to excessive lipid formation and storage contributing to these conditions. It shows interaction with proteins like perilipin which are involved in lipid droplet formation influencing pathological fat accumulation in tissues. Low levels or activity of DGAT2 have also been investigated concerning insulin resistance further linking it to metabolic syndrome-related disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843975336105,"sku":"ab153553","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab153553","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
