Target Details for AWAT2

Target: AWAT2 (Acyl-CoA Wax Alcohol Acyltransferase 2 (AWAT2))

Alternative Name: AWAT2

Background:

Synonyms: Acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 2|11-cis-specific retinyl-ester synthase (11-cis-RE-synthase)|Acyl-CoA retinol O-fatty-acyltransferase (ARAT, Retinol O-fatty-acyltransferase)|Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2-like protein 4|Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase candidate 4 (hDC4)|Long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase 2|Multifunctional O-acyltransferase|Wax synthase (hWS)|AWAT2|DC4|DGAT2L4|MFAT|WS

Background: Acyltransferase that predominantly esterify long chain(wax) alcohols with acyl-CoA-derived fatty acids to produce wax esters. Wax esters are enriched in sebum, suggesting that it plays a central role in lipid metabolism in skin. Has no activity using decyl alcohol and significantly prefers the C16 and C18 alcohols. May also have 2-acylglycerol O-acyltransferase(MGAT) and acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase(ARAT) activities, to catalyze the synthesis of diacylglycerols and retinyl esters, however this activity is unclear in vivo.
