m6A Target Gene Information

General Information of the m6A Target Gene (ID: M6ATAR00227)
Target Name Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2)

Gene Name DGAT2
Chromosomal Location 11q13.5
Family diacylglycerol acyltransferase family
Function
Essential acyltransferase that catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis by using diacylglycerol and fatty acyl CoA as substrates. Required for synthesis and storage of intracellular triglycerides. Probably plays a central role in cytosolic lipid accumulation. In liver, is primarily responsible for incorporating endogenously synthesized fatty acids into triglycerides (By similarity). Functions also as an acyl-CoA retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) (By similarity). Also able to use 1-monoalkylglycerol (1-MAkG) as an acyl acceptor for the synthesis of monoalkyl-monoacylglycerol (MAMAG).

Response Summary Glucose Is Involved in the Dynamic Regulation of m6A in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes.high-glucose stimulation enhances FTO expression, which leads to decreased m6A, and the lower m6A induces methyltransferase upregulation; FTO then triggers the mRNA expression of FOXO1, FASN, G6PC, and Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), and these four genes were correlated with glucose and lipid metabolism.

Experiment 1 Reporting the m6A Methylation Regulator of This Target Gene [2]
Response Summary Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by lack of insulin, insulin resistance and high blood sugar. METTL3 silence decreased the m6A methylated and total mRNA level of Fatty acid synthase (Fasn), subsequently inhibited fatty acid metabolism. The expression of Acc1, Acly, Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2), Ehhadh, Fasn, Foxo, Pgc1a and Sirt1, which are critical to the regulation of fatty acid synthesis and oxidation were dramatically decreased in livers of hepatocyte-specific METTL3 knockout mice.
