Hormone-sensitive [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Lipase lipases] represent a class of esterases within the hydrolase | Hormone-sensitive [http://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Lipase lipases] represent a class of esterases within the hydrolase family that catalyzes the cleavage of ester bonds in fatty acid molecules when stimulated by a hormone. The activation and mobilization of these hormone-sensitive lipases can be triggered by various [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catecholamine catecholamines] and inhibited by [http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Insulin insulin]. Briefly, binding of catecholamines to β-adrenergic receptors coupled with [http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Adenylate_Cyclase adenylate cyclase] (AC) stimulates G-proteins to increase the levels of cystolic [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_adenosine_monophosphate cAMP]. Elevated levels of cAMP leads to an activation [http://www.proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Protein_kinase_A protein kinase A] (PKA) leading to phosphorylation of serine residues on HSL activating and translocating HSL to lipid droplets for lipolysis. Conversely, insulin signaling decreases cystolic cAMP levels, resulting in a decreased HSL mobilization. <ref name="Holm">PMID:14641008</ref> | ||
