OXPAT Products

Description

OXPAT is a novel PAT-1 protein that is expressed in highly oxidative tissues. Lipid droplet proteins of the PAT family regulate cellular neutral lipid stores. OXPAT is induced by physiological (fasting), pathophysiological (insulin deficiency), pharmacological (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor [PPAR] agonists), and genetic (muscle-specific PPAR alpha overexpression) disturbances that increase fatty acid utilization. It is suggested that OXPAT is a marker for PPAR activation and fatty acid oxidation. OXPAT may also contribute to adaptive responses to the fatty acid responsibility that accompanies fasting, insulin deficiency, and overnutrition responses that are defective in obesity and type 2 diabetes.

OXPAT: Regulating Lipid Metabolism during Dietary Fluctuations OXPAT is the mammalian form of the PAT (perilipin, adipophilin, and TIP47) gene family that consists of proteins associated with lipid droplets (LDs) in fat-storing adipocyte cells. They serve to protect LDs from natural lipases responsible for breaki...    Read more.
