1	14966132	Acyl-CoA:monoacylglycerol acyltransferase-2 (MGAT2) catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerol and differs from the MGAT1 and MGAT3 in tissue distribution at the mRNA level.
2	14966132	Results demonstrate a high level of MGAT2 expression in the small intestine in a proximal-to-distal gradient that correlated well with both MGAT enzyme activity and fat absorption pattern.
3	14966132	MGAT2 expression appeared not to be affected by diabetes in the db/db mouse, however, the total intestinal MGAT activity was significantly enhanced.
4	14966132	Finally, an up-regulation of both MGAT2 protein expression and MGAT activity was observed in mice fed a high fat diet, implicating a role of MGAT2 in diet-induced obesity.

17	22385114	Monoacylglycerol and diacylglycerol acyltransferases (MGAT2 and DGAT1) are important enzymes involved in intestinal triglyceride absorption, and studies in recent years from knockout mice have revealed their important role in whole body energy metabolism through changes in intestinal TAG absorption kinetics.
18	22385114	Both MGAT2 and DGAT1 mice are resistant to dietinduced obesity and have improved insulin sensitivity and hepatic TAG accumulation.
