Also known as
AtDGAT2; diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2
Summary
Encodes a functional acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase with different acyl-CoA substrate preferences and shows higher DAG to TAG conversion rate than AtDGAT1. It increases both C18:2 and C18:3 polyunsaturated fatty acids at the expense of C16:0.
