abstract |
Nucleic acid compositions encoding mammalian DGAT2α polypeptide products with diglyceride acyltransferase activity, as well as the mammalian DGAT2α polypeptide products encoded thereby and methods for producing the same, are provided. The subject DGAT2α polypeptide and nucleic acid compositions find use in a variety of applications, including research, diagnostic, and therapeutic agent screening applications, as well as in treatment therapies and in the production of triacylglycerols. |
