The ability to store energy in the form of triacylglycerols is a fundamental process common to eukaryotic cells and organisms.  Acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1 ) is one of the two mammalian enzymes that catalyze triacylglycerol synthesis.  Dr. Farese will review the basic biology of DGAT1, from its discovery to the most recent studies.
