ALPHA/BETA HYDROLASE DOMAIN CONTAINING 5 SUPPORTS GLUCOSE-STIMULATED-LIPOLYSIS AND INSULIN SECRETION IN PANCREATIC BETA CELLS

Lucy Kim, Siming Liu, Spencer J. Peachee, Syreine Richtsmeier, Claudia Jun, Gianna Sagona, ANAMIKA VIKRAM, Aidan Freshly, Farakh Haider, Yumi Imai

This study identifies ABHD5 as a critical co-activator of PNPLA2 in pancreatic beta cells, showing it supports glucose-stimulated lipolysis and insulin secretion.

Lipid droplet protein Perilipin 2 is critical for the regulation of insulin secretion through beta cell lipophagy and glucagon expression in pancreatic islets

Siming Liu, Israel J Wipf, Aditya Joglekar, Aidan Freshly, Corinne E Bovee, Lucy Kim, Syreine Richtsmeier, Spencer J. Peachee, Shayla Kopriva, Anamika Vikram, Dalal El Ladiki, Fatma S. Ilerisoy, Beyza N. Ilerisoy, Gianna Sagona, Claudia Jun, , Yumi Imai

This study shows that PLIN2 regulates lipophagy in beta cells to prevent fatty acid accumulation in mitochondria, which impairs insulin secretion and mitochondrial function.
