摘　　要：Acetyl triacylglycerol (acetyl-TAG) containing acetyl at sn-3 position is rare in nature. It is optically active asymmetric TAG with low viscosity, having improved cold temperature property and low calorific content compared to regular TAGs. It gains increasingly attentions due to its potential applications. Metabolic engineering of plant or microorganism for production of acetyl-TAG is currently attractive. Here we summarize the researches on acetyl-TAG, with emphasis on gene discovery, protein analysis and its potential applications. Comprehensive understanding of current development in acetyl-TAG biosynthesis pathway may contribute to the increase of production and more applications.
