Abstract
Alternative triglyceride (TG) synthesis pathways have yet to be identified in mammalian cells. In a recent article published in Nature, Brummelkamp and colleagues reported the acyltransferase TMEM68/DIESL synthesizes TG in the absence of the canonical enzymes diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) and DGAT2.
