Rat DGAT2 (Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2) ELISA Kit

ELISA Type: Sandwich ELISA, Double Antibody. Detection Range: 31.25-2000µg/mL. Sensitivity: 18.75µg/mL. Sample Types: Serum, Plasma, Cell Culture Supernatant, cell or tissue lysate, Other liquid samples. Protein function: Essential acyltransferase that catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for synthesis and storage of intracellular triglycerides (PubMed:27184406). Probably plays a central role in cytosolic lipid accumulation. In liver, is primarily responsible for incorporating endogenously synthesized fatty acids into triglycerides. Functions also as an acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT). Also able to use 1- monoalkylglycerol (1-MAkG) as an acyl acceptor for the synthesis of monoalkyl-monoacylglycerol (MAMAG) (PubMed:28420705). [The UniProt Consortium]
