Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol from 2-monoacylglycerol and fatty acyl-CoA. The encoded protein is important in the uptake of dietary fat by the small intestine. This protein forms a complex with diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 in the endoplasmic reticulum, and this complex catalyzes the synthesis of triacylglycerol. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]
Annotation information: Note: MGAT2 (Gene ID: 4247) and MOGAT2 (Gene ID: 80168) share the MGAT2 symbol/alias in common. MGAT2 is a widely used alternative name for monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (MOGAT2), which can be confused with the official symbol for MGAT2, mannosyl (alpha-1,6-)-glycoprotein beta-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
