Function
Involved in glycerolipid synthesis and lipid metabolism. Catalyzes the formation of diacylglycerol, the precursor of triacylglycerol, by transferring the acyl chain of a fatty acyl-CoA to a monoacylglycerol. Plays a central role in absorption of dietary fat in the small intestine by catalyzing the resynthesis of triacylglycerol in enterocytes.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cytoplasm, perinuclear region
Tissue Specificity: Highly expressed in liver, small intestine, colon, stomach and kidney
Pathway: Glycerolipid metabolism; triacylglycerol biosynthesis
