Loss of adipocyte phospholipase gene <i>PLAAT3</i> causes lipodystrophy and insulin resistance due to inactivated arachidonic acid-mediated PPAR <i>γ</i> signaling
2021-04-15
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> PLAAT3 is a phospholipid modifying enzyme predominantly expressed in white adipose tissue (WAT). It is a candidate drug target as Plaat3 deficiency in mice protects against picornavirus infection and diet-induced obesity. We identified four patients with homozygous loss-of-function mutations in PLAAT3 , presenting with partial lipodystrophy, severe insulin resistance and dyslipidemia. PLAAT3-def...
