Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables 2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity and acetyltransferase activity. Involved in triglyceride biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within diacylglycerol biosynthetic process and intestinal absorption. Predicted to be located in perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo endoderm; liver; metanephros; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human MOGAT2 (monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2).
