Disease relevance of PNPLA2

 

High impact information on PNPLA2

 

Biological context of PNPLA2

 

Anatomical context of PNPLA2

  • HSL and ATGL cDNAs were transfected into Cos-7 cells and the relative tri- and diglyceride hydrolase activities were measured [1].
  • Adiponutrin and a related protein, adipocyte triglyceride lipase (ATGL; also known as Desnutrin), were recently described as adipocyte-specific proteins with lipid hydrolase activity [3].
 

Associations of PNPLA2 with chemical compounds

  • Recently, PEDF-R (TTS-2.2/independent phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2))zeta and mouse desnutrin/ATGL) has been described in adipose cells as a member of the new calcium-independent PLA(2)/nutrin/patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 2 (PNPLA2) family that possesses triglyceride lipase and acylglycerol transacylase activities [4].
  • Both mRNA and protein levels of ATGL and HSL were reduced in insulin-resistant compared with insulin-sensitive subjects (P < 0.05) [5].
