2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (MOGAT2)

Catalyzes the formation of diacylglycerol from 2- monoacylglycerol and fatty acyl-CoA. Has a preference toward monoacylglycerols containing unsaturated fatty acids in an arrangement of C18:3 > C18:2 > C18:1 > C18:0.

Plays a central role in absorption of dietary fat in the small intestine by catalyzing the resynthesis of triacylglycerol in enterocytes. May play a role in diet-induced obesity.
