    Summary
    Enables diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in negative regulation of lipid storage and regulation of nurse cell apoptotic process. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head and embryonic/larval muscle system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiomyopathy and congenital diarrhea 7 with exudative enteropathy. Orthologous to human DGAT1 (diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 1).
