Abstract

The protein kinase D (PKD) family is a target for the treatment of obesity-related disorders. However, the physiological role of PKD in adipose tissue remains to be resolved. Using phosphoproteomics and an adipose tissue PKD loss-of-function mouse model, results demonstrate that PKD provides fine-tuning of metabolic signaling in adipose tissue and metabolic responses to fasting and refeeding challenges, via coordination of feeding behavior and regulation of body weight.
