Human LPIN1 encodes phosphatidate (PA) phosphatase (PAP1) activity; three isoforms (alpha, beta, gamma) purified from E. coli all require Mg2+ or Mn2+ ions and follow saturation kinetics for PA as substrate, with positive cooperative kinetics for PA surface concentration (Hill number ~2). Isoforms differ in turnover numbers (kcat: alpha 68.8, beta 42.8, gamma 5.7 s-1) and require at least one unsaturated fatty acyl moiety for maximum activity. Activity is inhibited by Ca2+, Zn2+, N-ethylmaleimide, propranolol, and sphingoid bases. |

LPIN1 mutations (identified by homozygosity mapping) cause loss of the muscle-specific phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP1) function, leading to accumulation of phosphatidic acid and lysophospholipids in muscle tissue and recurrent rhabdomyolysis. Phospholipid analysis of patient muscle biopsies directly demonstrated PA/lysophospholipid accumulation in the more severe genotypes. |

Schwann cell-specific deletion of Lpin1 leads to peripheral demyelination mediated by endoneurial accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA), the substrate of the PAP1 enzyme. PA was shown to be a potent activator of the MEK-ERK pathway in Schwann cells, and MEK-ERK activation was required for PA-induced demyelination. |

Lpin1 is a p53-responsive gene induced by DNA damage and glucose deprivation. p53 and Lpin1 regulate fatty acid oxidation in C2C12 myoblasts. Lpin1 expression in response to nutritional stress is controlled through the ROS-ATM-p53 pathway (p53 phosphorylation on Ser18 is ROS- and ATM-dependent), and this pathway is conserved in human cells. |

Pathogenic LPIN1 missense mutations (p.Leu635Pro and p.Arg725His) cause loss of phosphatidic acid phosphohydrolase (PAP) catalytic activity without diminishing substrate binding (kinetic analyses indicate loss of catalysis). p.Leu635Pro protein is less stable, aggregates in cytosol, and is targeted for proteasomal degradation, and shows abnormal subcellular localization in patient muscle. p.Arg725His retains transcriptional regulatory function but lacks PAP activity. |

A truncated Lpin1 protein lacking PAP1 activity (from a splice-site mutation causing frameshift and premature stop codon) is produced in Lpin1(1Hubr) rats and results in hypomyelination and mild lipodystrophy. Compensatory biochemical pathways substituting for missing PAP1 activity are activated, and a possible non-enzymatic Lpin1 function residing outside its PAP1 domain may contribute to the less severe phenotype compared to null mice. |

LPIN1 interacts with insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) in an IGF-1-dependent manner and inhibits IRS1 serine phosphorylation, thereby preventing ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal and lysosomal degradation of IRS1. LPIN1 overexpression increases IRS1 abundance and activates RAF1-mediated signaling and AP-1 activity to promote mammary tumorigenesis. |

Cardiac-specific lipin 1 knockout (cs-Lpin1-/-) increases PA content in hearts and unexpectedly also elevates diacylglycerol and triglyceride. Loss of lipin 1 diminishes cardiac cardiolipin content and impairs mitochondrial respiration with pyruvate or succinate as substrates. Loss of lipin 1 dampens the cardiac inotropic response to dobutamine and exercise endurance, associated with reduced protein kinase A signaling. |

LPIN1 promotes triglyceride synthesis in buffalo mammary epithelial cells and is directly transcriptionally regulated by PPARγ binding to two PPAR response elements (PPRE1 and PPRE2) in the core LPIN1 promoter region (-666 to +42 bp). Site mutagenesis of these PPREs abolished PPARγ-driven LPIN1 transcription. |

Human adipose tissue from LPIN1 biallelic loss-of-function mutation patients shows dramatically decreased lipin-1 protein and PAP activity, with compensatory increases in SREBP1, PPARG, and PGC1A expression, while adipose tissue develops without overt lipodystrophy and with normal qualitative lipid composition, indicating species-specific compensatory mechanisms. |

LPIN1 induces gefitinib resistance in EGFR-mutant NSCLC cells by generating diacylglycerol upon gefitinib treatment, which activates protein kinase C delta and NF-κB in an LPIN1-dependent manner. LPIN1 also increases lipid droplet production. shRNA depletion or propranolol inhibition of LPIN1 reduced tumor growth in vivo. |

Concurrent partial loss-of-function mutations in Lpin1 and NrCAM act synergistically (not additively) to cause severe peripheral neuropathy with transitory hindlimb paralysis. The Lpin1 mutation alone caused demyelination and aberrant myelin structures, while NrCAM mutation alone showed normal sciatic nerve morphology; the double mutant had more severe electrophysiological defects than either single mutant. |

LPIN1 is required for normal hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell (HSPC) and leukemic stem cell (LSC) function. LPIN1 suppression reduces phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine while upregulating sphingomyelin, altering phospholipid homeostasis. LPIN1 knockdown inhibited proliferation of primary leukemic cells and normal HSPCs both in vitro and in xenotransplantation assays. |

CXCL6 activates JNK, leading to inhibitory phosphorylation of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR), which prevents GR-dependent activation of the LPIN1 promoter, thereby suppressing LPIN1-PPARα axis in hepatocytes and impairing fatty acid oxidation. Lpin1 knockdown reversed the protective phenotype in Cxcl5-deficient mice, confirming LPIN1 suppression as the essential driver of CXCL6-mediated MASH progression. |
