Function

Catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates (PubMed:16214399, PubMed:18768481, PubMed:28420705, PubMed:32433610, PubMed:32433611, PubMed:9756920). Highly expressed in epithelial cells of the small intestine and its activity is essential for the absorption of dietary fats (PubMed:18768481). In liver, plays a role in esterifying exogenous fatty acids to glycerol, and is required to synthesize fat for storage (PubMed:16214399). Also present in female mammary glands, where it produces fat in the milk (By similarity). May be involved in VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) assembly (PubMed:18768481). In contrast to DGAT2 it is not essential for survival (By similarity). Functions as the major acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) in the skin, where it acts to maintain retinoid homeostasis and prevent retinoid toxicity leading to skin and hair disorders (PubMed:16214399). Exhibits additional acyltransferase activities, includin acyl CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase (MGAT), wax monoester and wax diester synthases (By similarity). Also able to use 1-monoalkylglycerol (1-MAkG) as an acyl acceptor for the synthesis of monoalkyl-monoacylglycerol (MAMAG) (PubMed:28420705).

Activity summary

DGAT1 also known as acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 is an enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa. DGAT1 is expressed in various tissues with high levels noted in adipose tissue and the intestines. The enzyme catalyzes the final step in triglyceride synthesis by transferring acyl-CoA to diacylglycerol to form triglycerides. This process is essential in lipid metabolism impacting both energy storage and membrane synthesis.

Biological function summary

DGAT1 plays a significant role in lipid homeostasis and energy balance across multiple biological systems. This enzyme is key in the conversion of dietary fats into stored energy and it does not exist as part of a complex. DGAT1's activity contributes to the maintenance of cellular lipid droplets and it has implications therefore in conditions where lipid metabolism is disrupted.

Pathways

DGAT1 is a part of the triglyceride biosynthesis pathway an important route within the lipid metabolism framework. In this context the enzyme works alongside other lipogenic proteins such as acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthase to synthesize triglycerides. DGAT1's role in this pathway has implications for how the body manages fat storage and utilization linking it to the regulation of systemic energy levels.

Associated diseases and disorders

Aberrant DGAT1 activity links to metabolic conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Alterations in DGAT1 expression can affect lipid storage and mobilization contributing to these disorders. Within this pathogenic context DGAT1 also interacts with proteins like adipose triglyceride lipase which further influences the breakdown of stored triglycerides impacting adipose tissue accumulation and insulin sensitivity.
