Phosphatidate phosphatase LPIN2 (LPIN2)

Plays important roles in controlling the metabolism of fatty acids at different levels. Acts as a magnesium-dependent phosphatidate phosphatase enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol during triglyceride, phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthesis in the reticulum endoplasmic membrane.

Acts also as a nuclear transcriptional coactivator for PPARGC1A to modulate lipid metabolism (By similarity). .
