簡要描述：Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) may function as a lipase and play a role in the adaptive response to a low energy state, such as fasting, by providing fatty acids to other tissues for oxidation. In addition, decreased expression of desnutrin in obesity models suggests its possible contribution to the pathophysiology of obesity. ATGL catalyzes the initial step in triglyceride hydrolysis in mammalian adipose tissue. ATGL contains a patatin domain common to plant acyl hydrolases. ATGL is highl
