DGAT — Brachypodium distachyon
Summary
BRADI_3G53247V3 (BdDGAT) encodes a diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase (DGAT) with a DAGAT domain, conferring diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.-). This enzyme is associated with neutral lipid anabolism, triglyceride anabolism, glycerol metabolism, and adiposome organization, and localizes to the adiposome and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The gene has been linked to temperature tolerance and oil accumulation. Studies of related genes in other species, including Arabidopsis DGAT2 and yeast, connect the family to triacylglycerol biosynthesis and accumulation, lipid synthesis, and traits such as oleic acid content, high temperature stress response, grain yield, and quality traits.
