DGAT2 Antibody

1. DGAT2 contains a C-terminal signal sequence that interacts with lipid droplets. PMID: 29902571
2. Study identified a large cohort of patients with congenital diarrheal disorders with mutations in DGAT1 that reduced expression of its product; dermal fibroblasts and intestinal organoids derived from these patients had altered lipid metabolism and were susceptible to lipid-induced cell death. Expression of full-length wildtype DGAT1 or DGAT2 restored normal lipid metabolism in these cells. PMID: 29604290
3. We first report loss-of-function mutations in DGAT2 and FAAH in one obese subject, which may interact with each other to affect the adiposity penetrance, providing a model of genetic interaction associated with human obesity. PMID: 28243972
4. The findings indicate the functionality of the prostate cancer death-predisposing SNPs rs143975731, rs12277366, rs2155225, and rs2155222 as DGAT2 regulators in prostate tumors. PMID: 27113481
5. Results identified a novel de novo p.Y223H mutation in the DGAT2 from an autosomal-dominant Korean Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) family suggesting this mutation a novel underlying cause of an autosomal-dominant CMT2 phenotype. PMID: 26786738
6. uPA/uPAR stimulates triglyceride synthesis in Huh7 hepatoma cells via p38-dependent upregulation of DGAT2 PMID: 25244504
7. DGAT2 is regulated by gp78-associated endoplasmic-reticulum-associated degradation at the post-translational level. PMID: 24820123
8. Hepatic triacylglycerol synthesis and secretion: DGAT2 as the link between glycaemia and triglyceridaemia. PMID: 23489367
9. describe distinct but synergistic roles of the two DGATs in an integrated pathway of TAG synthesis and secretion, with DGAT2 acting upstream of DGAT1 PMID: 22748069
10. Niacin treatment may reduce liver fat content in Chinese patients with dyslipidemia and the mechanism may involve inhibition of DGAT2. PMID: 22315393
11. DGAT2 expression is decreased in psoriatic skin. PMID: 14521909
12. Niacin selectively inhibited DGAT2 but not DGAT1 activity, but had no effect on the expression of DGAT1 and DGAT2 mRNA PMID: 15258194
13. our results do not support the hypothesis of an important role of common genetic variation in DGAT2 for the development of obesity PMID: 17477860
14. diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 expression is regulated by CAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBPbeta) and C/EBPalpha during adipogenesis PMID: 17504763
15. Overexpression of human DGAT2 in glycolytic muscle of mice promotes insulin resistance in this tissue and may contribute to the development of diabetes. PMID: 17940217
16. Review summarizes current knowledge of DGAT1 and DGAT2 enzymes, focusing on new advances since the cloning of their genes, including possible roles in human health and diseases. PMID: 18757836
17. DGAT2, an ER-resident transmembrane domain-containing enzyme, is also found in mitochondria-associated membranes, where its N terminus may promote its association with mitochondria. PMID: 19049983
