acid phosphohydrolase (PAP) enzymes in the TG synthesis pathway and by regulating DNA-
bound transcription factors to control gene transcription. Hepatic PAP activity could
contribute to hepatic fat accumulation in response to physiological and pathophysiological
stimuli. To examine the role of lipin 1 in regulating hepatic lipid metabolism, we generated
mice that are deficient in lipin-1-encoded PAP activity in a liver-specific manner (Alb …
