Lipin family including at least three members Lipin 1, Lipin 2, and Lipin 3 is a critical regulatory enzyme identified recently, which plays dual roles in lipid metabolisms. Lipin family has physiological effects not only on regulating lipid metabolism, but also on maintaining normal peripheral nervous functions, liver lipoprotein secretion, cell morphous, reproductive functions, and energy homeostasis. Since mutations in Lipin gene express may be associated with AIDS, insulin resistance, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and the other diseases of metabolic syndrome, Lipin may be a new useful target in treatment of above-mentioned clinical-related diseases. In this article, we focused on discovery, construction features, expression, regulatory mechanism, and biological functions of Lipin, as well as its correlation research with clinical-related diseases.
