11 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
PNPLA3 (adiponutrin, calcium-independent phospholipase A(2) epsilon [iPLA(2)ε]) is an adipose-enriched, nutritionally regulated protein that belongs to the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing (PNPLA) family of lipid metabolizing proteins. Genetic variations in the human PNPLA3 gene (i.e., the rs738409 I148M allele) has been strongly and repeatedly associated with fatty liver disease. Although human...
