Summary: Enables diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including diacylglycerol metabolic process; positive regulation of gluconeogenesis; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including lipid droplet; mitochondrion; and perinuclear endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Used to study steatotic liver disease. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Orthologous to human DGAT2 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2).

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.
