TAG synthesis and levels of PUFA-TAGs were lowered by the diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)1 inhibitor, T863. The lipase inhibitor, Atglistatin, increased the levels of TAG in both WT and ATGL-deficient mouse Hepatic stellate cell (HSC). Both Atglistatin and T863 inhibited the induction of activation marker, alpha-smooth muscle actin, in rat HSCs, but not in mouse HSCs.
Title: ATGL and DGAT1 are involved in the turnover of newly synthesized triacylglycerols in hepatic stellate cells.
In both wild-type and DGAT-knockdown hepatocytes, oleate co-treatment significantly reduced PA lipid incorporation and overall phospholipid saturation compared to PA-treated hepatocytes
Title: Knockdown of triglyceride synthesis does not enhance palmitate lipotoxicity or prevent oleate-mediated rescue in rat hepatocytes.
pharmacological DGAT-1 inhibition leads to an increase in intestinal FAO and ketogenesis when dietary fat is available.
Title: Diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 inhibition enhances intestinal fatty acid oxidation and reduces energy intake in rats.
DGAT1 belongs to the family of oligomeric membrane proteins that adopt a dual membrane topology.

Nephrotic syndrome results in up-regulation of hepatic DGAT-1 expression and activity, which can potentially contribute to the associated hypertriglyceridemia by enhancing triglyceride synthesis.

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.
