DGAT2 — Brassica napus
Summary
BnDGAT2 (DARMORV10_A03P48320.1) on chromosome A03 of oilseed rape encodes a diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase, placing it in the DAGAT protein family. The gene is associated with diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity and linked to neutral lipid anabolism, triglyceride anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, lipogenesis, glycerol metabolism, adiposome organization, NO storage, and seed development. Its product localizes to the adiposome and ER membrane. Observed associations include oil accumulation, triacylglycerol accumulation, and temperature tolerance. Studies of the Arabidopsis relative DGAT2 connect the family to triacylglycerol biosynthesis and lipid synthesis, while sequence similarity links the family to seed length, seed weight, and high temperature stress response.
