Triglyceride Metabolism Enzymes

Molecular classification
Enzyme
01

Overview

Triglyceride metabolism enzymes are a group of proteins that catalyze the synthesis and breakdown of triglycerides, which are the main form of energy storage in animals. These enzymes play essential roles in lipid homeostasis, energy balance, and metabolic health by regulating both the formation (lipogenesis) and degradation (lipolysis) of triglycerides.
