Summary: Enables diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular triglyceride homeostasis; lipid storage; and triglyceride biosynthetic process. Located in lipid droplet. Is integral component of membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Orthologous to several human genes including DGAT2 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2); MOGAT1 (monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1); and MOGAT2 (monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2).
