A proposed scheme for the role of LPCAT3 in adipocyte differentiation. LPCAT3 mRNA expression is induced during adipocyte differentiation, leading to increased PC, PE and PS containing arachidonic acid. Abundant arachidonic acid in membrane phospholipids enhances activity of PPARγ by producing endogenous ligands, thereby promoting adipocyte differentiation.
