    basic FUNCTION
  • stimulating lipid degradation in adipocytes
  • causing the extensive fat losses associated with some advanced cancers
  • plays an important role in the mobilization and utilization of stored lipids, and may play an important role in the regulation of adipose mass in obesity and cachexia
  • lipid-mobilizing factor involved in regulating lipid metabolism and adiposity
  • tumor suppressor in pancreatic cancer inducing mesenchymal-to-epithelial transdifferentiation by inhibiting TGF-beta-mediated ERK signaling
