Introduction to hormone-sensitive lipase
Hormone-sensitive lipases (HSL) represent a class of esterases within the α/β hydrolase family. HSL catalyzes the cleavage of ester bonds in fatty acid molecules when stimulated by a hormone. [1] The activation and mobilization of hormone-sensitive lipase can be triggered by various catecholamines and inhibited by insulin. [2] Catecholamines, such as epinephrine, are rapidly spread throughout the body during times of energy mobilization, like in the fight of flight response. Conversely, insulin triggers glucose uptake, requiring the storage of energy, opposing HSL's function. HSL is clinically relevant, because the mobilization of or inability to mobilize fats in cells is directly related to fat accumulation seen in artherosclerosisand obesity.[3] Such diseases are characterized by an accumulation of fats and researchers are investigating whether HSL's activity plays a role or not. [2] Investigation of HSL's structure and function could provide a better clinical understanding of these diseases. [3]
Briefly, HSL is stimulated by the binding of catecholamines to β-adrenergic receptors. β-adrenergic receptors coupled with adenylate cyclase (AC) then stimulate G-proteins to increase the levels of cystolic cAMP. Elevated levels of cAMP leads to an activation 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. [1]
