Scientists visualize the structure of a key enzyme that makes triglycerides -- A first look at the structure of the lipin enzyme. The structure shows how two essential regions (colored blue and pink), located on opposite ends of the protein in humans, come together to form a function enzyme to help make triglycerides.

The first structure of a lipin enzyme, which carries out an important step in the production of triglycerides, the main reservoir for long-term energy storage, will help scientists to better understand how lipins regulate the production of triglycerides. Led by Mike Airola, Ph.D., of the Department of Biochemistry and Cell Biology in the College of Arts and Sciences and Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, the structure also provides scientists with insights as to why…
