Ethanolamine phosphate phospholyase (ETNPPL) is an enzyme that irreversibly degrades phospho-ethanolamine (p-ETN), an intermediate in the Kennedy pathway of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) biosynthesis. PE is the second most abundant phospholipid in mammalian membranes. Disturbance of hepatic phospholipid homeostasis has been linked to the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We generated whole-body Etnppl knockout mice to investigate the impact of genetic deletion of Etnppl on hepatic lipid metabolism. Primary hepatocytes isolated from Etnppl
