LPIN2
LPIN2
A gene on chromosome 18p11.31 that encodes a magnesium-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase, which converts phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol during triglyceride, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine synthesis in the endoplasmic reticulum, and which acts a nuclear transcriptional coactivator for PPARGC1A/PPARA, modulating lipid metabolism-related gene expression.Molecular pathology
LPIN2 mutations may cause lipodystrophy.
