Loss of monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 can be compensated for by diacylglycerol O-acyltransferases 1 and 2 resulting in a negligible influence on mammary cancer development found in a mouse model and verified in human tissues

Background: Dietary fat absorption involves the re-esterification of digested triacylglycerol in the enterocytes, it is a biological process catalyzed by monoacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (MOGAT2, aka MGAT2), which is highly expressed in the small intestine. A previous study showed that the loss...
