Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 68393 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity. Acts upstream of or within diacylglycerol biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Orthologous to human MOGAT1 (monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased body weight in female, but not, male mice and does not ameliorate hepatic steatosis in lipodystrophic or obese mice.
