This gene represents a candidate gene for human lipodystrophy, characterized by loss of body fat, fatty liver, hypertriglyceridemia, and insulin resistance. Mouse studies suggest that LPIN1 functions during normal adipose tissue development and may also play a role in human triglyceride metabolism.
