   2.3.1.22 | acyl-CoA + sn-2-monoacylglycerol |
diacylglycerol biosynthetic activity |
| 2.3.1.22 | acyl-CoA + sn-2-monoacylglycerol |
the enzyme is developmentally expressed, associated with physiological periods characterized by high rates of lipolysis and depends on fatty acids for energy production. During these periods the enzyme may help to retain essential fatty acids selectively |
| 2.3.1.22 | acyl-CoA + sn-2-monoacylglycerol |
the enzyme may be regulated physiologically by specific intermediates of glycerolipid metabolism. In neonatal liver, signal transduction may be linked to the synthesis of complex lipids via the monoacylglycerol pathway |
| 2.3.1.22 | acyl-CoA + sn-2-monoacylglycerol |
in the intestine the enzyme plays a major role in the absorption of dietary fat because resynthesis of triacylglycerol is required for the assembly of lipoproteins that transport absorbed fat to other tissues |
| 2.3.1.22 | acyl-CoA + sn-2-monoacylglycerol |
MGAT2 may play an important role in dietary fat absorption |
| 2.3.1.22 | monoacylglycerol + acyl-CoA |
- |
| 2.3.1.22 | monoacylglycerol + fatty acyl-CoA |
- |
| 2.3.1.22 | monoacylglycerol + fatty acyl-CoA |
monoacylglycerol pathway predominates in enterocytes after feeding, when large amounts of 2-monoacylglycerols and fatty acids are released from the digestion of dietary lipids |
| 2.3.1.22 | monoacylglycerol + fatty acyl-CoA |
monoacylglycerol pathway predominates in enterocytes after feeding, when large amounts of 2-monoacylglycerols and fatty acids are released from the digestion of dietary lipids, also active in adipose tissue |
| 2.3.1.22 | more |
predominant role of enzyme in dietary fat absorption |
