Insulin promotes hepatic lipogenesis, though underlying regulation remains unclear. Here the authors show that insulin translocates TRIM24 from the nucleus into cytosolic P-bodies to stabilise hepatic Pparγ mRNA, and that inactivation of TRIM24 promotes Pparγ degradation and alleviates hepatosteatosis.
