Description
This biobrick codifies for the protein DGAT (Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase) which have dual activity, it can act as a wax ester synthase or as a diacylglycerol acyltransferase. In the latter case, its function consists in mediate the final step in TGAs synthesis using a fatty acyl-CoA and a DGA. This enzyme is vital in the storage and synthesis of lipids.Based on Uniprot information, this enzyme is more likely to act as a wax ester synthase with (C12-C18)-CoA whereas with (C20)-CoA it acts as a DGAT.
