Here, we reveal a previously unrecognized role of TBC1D1 in the control of hepatic lipid storage through composite actions involving both direct binding and Rab2A-dependent regulation of PPARγ (Fig 7G), which not only further demonstrates the importance of TBC1D1 in lipid metabolism but also links this protein to another metabolic disease NAFLD. The gene discussed is RAB2A; the disease is metabolic disease.
