Gene nameAWAT1
Protein nameAcyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 1 (EC 2.3.1.75) (Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2-like protein 3) (Diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2) (Long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase 1)
SynonymsDGAT2L3
DGA2
DescriptionFUNCTION: Acyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of ester bonds between fatty alcohols and fatty acyl-CoAs to form wax monoesters . Shows a strong preference for decyl alcohol (C10), with less activity towards C16 and C18 alcohols . Shows a strong preference for saturated acyl-CoAs . .
