Interference with DGAT Gene Inhibited TAG Accumulation and Lipid Droplet Synthesis in Bovine Preadipocytes
Triacylglycerol (TGA) is the primary component of intramuscular fat.Expression of diacylglyceryl transferase (DGAT) determines the polyester differentiation ability of precursor adipocytes.The two DGAT isoforms (DGAT1 and DGAT2) play different roles in TAG metabolism.This study investigates the roles of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in signaling pathways related
