Preferential lipolysis of DGAT1 over DGAT2 generated triacylglycerol in Huh7 hepatocytes
2021-06-18
Abstract excerpt
Hepatic steatosis is defined by accumulation of neutral lipids in lipid droplets (LDs) including triacylglycerol (TG) and steryl esters. Two distinct diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGAT1 and DGAT2) catalyze synthesis of TG in hepatocytes. TG formed through either DGAT1 or DGAT2 appears to be preferentially directed to distinct intercellular fates, such as fatty acid production for oxidation or very-low density l...
