GlossaryDiacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1)

enzyme that catalyzes the final step in triglyceride synthesis

Diacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the body's ability to store fat. It catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of triglycerides, which are the main form of stored energy in fat cells. This enzyme is important for energy metabolism and has been studied for its potential links to obesity and metabolic disorders.
