Summary: Enables diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including bile acid signaling pathway; positive regulation of gluconeogenesis; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Used to study fatty liver disease. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; and premature menopause. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Orthologous to human DGAT2 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
