General Information
The FTO (fat mass and obesity-associated) gene is well conserved and found in a single copy in vertebrate species. It is suggested that the FTO protein plays a role in fat cell lipolysis, which may be important in explaining why the FTO gene (and FTO gene variants) is implicated in body weight regulation.

Product Description
Inhibitor of diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT). Shows inhibitory effect in rat liver microsomes (IC50=10.2µM) and Raji cells (IC50=15.5µM). Excessive accumulation of triacetylglycerol produced by DGAT may cause fatty liver, obesity and hypertriglyceridemia, which may lead to atherosclerosis, diabetes and metabolic disorders.
