Dysregulation of plasmalogen metabolism in adipose tissue is associated with metabolic diseases. Here the authors characterize the role of adipocyte TMEM86A as a lysoplasmalogenase and show its deletion is protective against high fat diet induced metabolic disease, an effect that can be recapitulated by plasmenyl lysophosphatidylethanolamine 18:0 supplementation.
