Biochem/physiol Actions

Mannosyl (α-1,6-)-glycoprotein β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (MGAT2) is a Golgi enzyme highly expressed in small intestine of mice and humans. It is a key regulator of fat metabolism and energy expenditure. Mutations in this gene show resistance to metabolic disorders induced by high-fat feeding and exhibit increased energy expenditure.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: PKNAALKLGCINAEYPDSFGHYREAKFSQTKHHWWWKLHFVWERVKILRD

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Resynthesis of triglycerides in enterocytes of the small intestine plays a critical role in the absorption of dietary fat. Acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 (MGAT2) is highly expressed in the small intestine and catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol from monoacylglycerol and acyl-CoA. To

Acyl CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (MGAT2) is thought to be crucial for dietary fat absorption. Indeed, mice lacking the enzyme (Mogat2(-/-)) are resistant to obesity and other metabolic disorders induced by high-fat feeding. However, these mice absorb normal quantities of fat.

Nature medicine, 15(4), 442-446 (2009-03-17)
Animals are remarkably efficient in absorbing dietary fat and assimilating this energy-dense nutrient into the white adipose tissue (WAT) for storage. Although this metabolic efficiency may confer an advantage in times of calorie deprivation, it contributes to obesity and associated
