Description: | The in vitro assay to identify DGAT1 inhibitors uses human DGAT1 enzyme expressed in Sf9 insect cells prepared as microsomes. The reaction was initiated by the addition of the combined substrates 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycerol and [14C]-palmitoyl-CoA and incubated with test compounds and microsomal membranes for 2 hours at room temperature. The assay was stopped by adding 0.5 mg wheat germ agglutinin beads in assay buffer with 1% Brij-35 and 1% 3-cholamidopropyldimethyl-ammonio-1-propane sulfonate. Plates were sealed with TopSeal and incubated for 18 hours to allow the radioactive triglyceride product to come into proximity with the bead. |
