Regulation of acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase-1 by protein phosphorylation

Triacylglycerols are the predominant molecules of energy storage in eukaryotes. Triacylglycerol synthesis is catalyzed by acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) enzymes, DGAT1 and DGAT2. Although the use of molecular tools, including targeted disruption of either DGAT enzyme, has shed light...
