The 3-acetyl-1,2-diacylglycerols (acTAG) are the molecules that are structurally similar to triacylglycerols (TAG). They are naturally produced by plants of the family Celastraceae and animals such as Cervus nippon and Eurosta solidaginis. The presence of acetate in the sn-3 position of the glycerol
Euonymus species from the Celastraceae family are considered as a source of unusual genes modifying the oil content and fatty acid composition of vegetable oils. Due to the possession of genes encoding enzyme diacylglycerol acetyltransferase (DAcT), Euonymus plants can synthesize and
The spindle tree (Euonymus europaeus L.) is a much-branched deciduous shrub or small tree. Its fruit capsules contain seeds with remarkably high content of oil interesting for industry, especially the 3-acetyl-1,2-diacyl-sn-glycerols (AcDAG) synthesized by a specific acetyl-CoA diacylglycerol
