AWAT1: Proteins and Enzymes
The protein encoded by the AWAT1 gene belongs to the diacylglycerol acyltransferase family. It esterifies long chain (wax)alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids to produce wax esters. Wax esters are enriched in sebum, suggesting thatthis enzyme plays a central role in lipid metabolism in skin. Consistent with this observation, this protein ispredominantly expressed in the sebaceous gland of the skin. (provided by RefSeq)
