Adipose triglyceride lipase

Adipose triglyceride lipase, also known as patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 2 and ATGL, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PNPLA2 gene.[5][6][7][8] ATGL catalyses the first reaction of lipolysis,[9] where triacylglycerols are hydrolysed to diacylglycerols.[10]

Properties

ATGL has very high substrate specificity for triacylglycerols.[11] It contains a catalytic dyad using serine-aspartic acid.[10]

Function

ATGL catalyses the first reaction of lipolysis.[9] It hydrolysis triacylglycerols to diacylglycerols[10] by attacking the fatty acid attached to carbon-3 of glycerol.

ATGL acts as a control mechanism of lipolysis, as variations in diacylglycerol concentration impact enzymes in later stages of lipolysis.[12]

Clinical significance

Defects in ATGL can cause problems in lipolysis, leading to neutral lipid storage disease.[13] As triacylglycerols are not hydrolysed to diacylglycerols, there is a build-up of triacylglycerol droplets in granulocytes.[13]
