Abstract

Background: Lipin 2 is a phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) responsible for DAG formation at the ER membrane during lipogenesis. Results: A combination of biochemical approaches is used to characterize lipin 2 phosphatase activity and regulation. Conclusion: The electrostatic charge of PA regulates activity, but phosphorylation does not. Significance: These findings demonstrate differential regulation of PAP activity within the lipin family.
