DGAT2 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsDGAT2 (CSA09G058550) on Camelina sativa chromosome 9 encodes a diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase, placing it in the DAGAT family. The enzyme is associated with neutral lipid anabolism, triglyceride anabolism, glycerol metabolism, adiposome organization, lipid metabolism, and seed germination, and localizes to the adiposome and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. The gene has been connected to seed length, seed weight, oil accumulation, triacylglycerol accumulation, and temperature tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to triacylglycerol biosynthesis and lipid synthesis.
