Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 3.2Å Ligands: WS0 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease DGAT1_HUMAN Congenital chronic diarrhea with protein-losing enteropathy. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function DGAT1_HUMAN Catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. In contrast to DGAT2 it is not essential for survival. May be involved in VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) assembly. In liver, plays a role in esterifying exogenous fatty acids to glycerol. 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.
