malfunction | adipocyte-specific knockout FATX-KO mice or mice treated with the lysophosphatidic acid receptor antagonist Ki16425 gain more weight and accumulate more adipose tissue than wild-type or control mice fed a high fat diet | Mus musculus |
physiological function | the enzyme is involved in synthesis of lysophosphatidic acid, a phospholipid growth factor acting via lysophosphatidic acid-specific receptors (LPA1R to LPA6R) and involved in several pathologies including obesity. Enzyme expression is up-regulated in obese patients and mice in relationship with insulin resistance and impaired glucose tolerance. Lysophosphatidic acid-specific receptor LPA1R is the most abundant receptor subtype in adipose tissue. Its expression is higher in non-adipocyte cells than in adipocytes and is not altered in obesity. The enzyme increases and receptor LPA1R decreases while preadipocytes differentiate into adipocytes (adipogenesis). Lysophosphatidic acid inhibits adipogenesis through down-regulation of the pro-adipogenic transcription factor PPARgamma2. ATX/LPA signaling impairs glucose homeostasis, regulation of obesity involves the enzyme, overview | Mus musculus |
