Abhd5 also known as CGI-58 is a protein with significant importance in lipid metabolism. It has a molecular weight of approximately 39 kDa and is ubiquitously expressed in tissues throughout the body including adipose tissue and liver. This protein associates with lipid droplets within cells serving a role important for lipid handling and signaling. Abhd5 stands for the alpha/beta hydrolase domain-containing protein 5 indicative of its structure and enzymatic functions.
Biological function summary

The Abhd5/CGI-58 protein acts as a coactivator of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) enhancing its role in triglyceride hydrolysis. This support is vital for energy release from triglycerides in fat cells. Abhd5 does not function alone; it exists within a protein complex where it modulates ATGL's catalytic activity. Furthermore Abhd5 is implicated in broader lipid signaling and metabolic control influencing various cellular responses through its roles within these complexes.

Pathways

Abhd5/CGI-58 is central to the lipid metabolism pathway particularly in the breakdown of triglycerides. By activating ATGL Abhd5 influences the lipolytic pathway which is important for mobilizing stored fats for energy use. In addition to its role with ATGL another protein perilipin regulates this pathway by interacting with lipid droplet-associated proteins including Abhd5 to control access to lipids. The protein influences the signaling crosstalk within metabolic pathways coordinating metabolic responses within the cell.

The Abhd5/CGI-58 protein has ties to conditions like lipodystrophy and Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome. Deficiencies or mutations in the CGI-58 protein can impair lipid metabolism leading to abnormal fat distribution and storage. In these diseases the lack of Abhd5 activity affects the interactions with proteins like ATGL which is responsible for triglyceride breakdown. Research continues to explore the relationship between Abhd5 dysfunction and these metabolic disorders aiming to clarify its role in the etiology of such conditions.

General info

Function

Coenzyme A-dependent lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of an acyl group on a lysophosphatidic acid (PubMed : 18606822). Functions preferentially with 1-oleoyl-lysophosphatidic acid followed by 1-palmitoyl-lysophosphatidic acid, 1-stearoyl-lysophosphatidic acid and 1-arachidonoyl-lysophosphatidic acid as lipid acceptor. Functions preferentially with arachidonoyl-CoA followed by oleoyl-CoA as acyl group donors (By similarity). Functions in phosphatidic acid biosynthesis (PubMed : 18606822). May regulate the cellular storage of triacylglycerol through activation of the phospholipase PNPLA2 (PubMed : 16679289). Involved in keratinocyte differentiation (PubMed : 18832586). Regulates lipid droplet fusion (By similarity).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the peptidase S33 family. ABHD4/ABHD5 subfamily.
