Summary: 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Inhibition of MGAT2 modulates fat-induced gut peptide release and fat intake in normal mice and ameliorates obesity and diabetes in ob/ob mice fed on a high-fat diet.

MGAT2 in the intestine plays an indispensable role in enhancing metabolic efficiency but also raise the possibility that MGAT2 in other tissues may contribute to the regulation of energy metabolism.
Title: Intestine-specific expression of MOGAT2 partially restores metabolic efficiency in Mogat2-deficient mice.
the release of gut peptides following oral triglyceride ingestion in MGAT2 and DGAT1 knock-out mice was investigated.
Title: Role of MGAT2 and DGAT1 in the release of gut peptides after triglyceride ingestion.
Mogat2 is a key determinant of energy metabolism in response to dietary fat and suggest that inhibition or deletion of this enzyme may prove to be a useful strategy for treating obesity.
Title: Deficiency of the intestinal enzyme acyl CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 protects mice from metabolic disorders induced by high-fat feeding.
MGAT2 possessed an intrinsic acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) activity which could provide an alternative pathway for triacylglycerol synthesis in the absence of DGAT
Title: Properties of the mouse intestinal acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase, MGAT2.
MGAT catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol, a precursor of triacylglycerol. MGAT mediates the absorption of dietary fat by catalyzing the resynthesis of triacylglycerol in enterocytes, a step required for delivering absorbed fat to other tissues.

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.
