01

Overview

The triglyceride synthesis enzyme complex refers to the group of enzymes responsible for catalyzing the biosynthesis of triglycerides (also called triacylglycerols, TAGs) from glycerol and fatty acids. This process is essential for energy storage in animals and humans, as triglycerides are the main constituents of body fat and a major form of energy reserve. Key enzymes involved include Glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), Acylglycerophosphate acyltransferase (AGPAT), Phosphatidic acid phosphatases (PAPs or lipins), and Diacylglycerol O-acyltransferases (DGAT1 and DGAT2).
