Application
Glycerol kinase (glpK) was used to study the effects of pain controlling neuropeptides on human fat cell lipolysis.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glycerol kinase catalyzes tge MgATP-dependent phosphorylation of glycerol to produce sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and is the rate limiting enzyme in the utilization of glycerol. It is also subject to feedback regulation by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate.

The effects of acylation-stimulating protein (ASP) and insulin on free fatty acid (FFA) release from isolated human fat cells and the signal transduction pathways to induce these effects were studied. ASP and insulin inhibited basal and norepinephrine-induced FFA release by

An artificial-membrane-bound glycerokinase chosen as a membrane-bound two-substrate-enzyme model has been used to separate two unequal compartments of a specially designed diffusion cell. An interesting feature is the asymmetry of compartments and the existence of a diffusion layer adjacent to

Neuropeptides NPFF and NPSF are involved in pain control, acting through the G-protein coupled receptors (GPR)74 (high affinity for NPFF) and GPR147 (equal affinity for NPFF and NPSF). GPR74 also inhibits catecholamine-induced adipocyte lipolysis and regulates fat mass in humans.

Animal and human studies suggest that a malleable protein matrix (MPM) from whey decreases plasma lipid concentrations and may positively influence other components of the metabolic syndrome such as glucose metabolism and blood pressure (BP). The primary objective of this
