The hydrolysis of fat stored in adipose tissues is crucial for providing energy during fasting and exercise, and dysregulation of fat breakdown may contribute to metabolic disease. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, report that CGI-58/ABHD5, a lipid-droplet-associated protein that is mutated in a rare disease characterized by excess lipid storage, activates adipose triglyceride lipase and thus may regulate fat mobilization.
储存于脂肪组织中的脂肪水解对于在禁食和运动期间提供能量至关重要,而脂肪分解的失调可能会导致代谢性疾病。在本期《细胞代谢》中,[研究人员]报道,CGI-58/ABHD5(一种与脂滴相关的蛋白质,在一种以脂质储存过多为特征的罕见疾病中发生突变)可激活脂肪甘油三酯脂肪酶,因此可能调节脂肪动员。
