Picalm (phosphatidylinositol-binding clathrin assembly protein), a ubiquitously expressed clathrin-adapter protein, is a well-known susceptibility gene for Alzheimer's disease, but its role in white adipose tissue (WAT) function has not yet been studied. Transcriptome analysis revealed differential expression of Picalm in WAT of diabetes-prone and diabetes-resistant mice, hence we aimed to investigate the potential link between Picalm expression and glucose homeostasis, obesity-related metabolic phenotypes, and its specific role in insulin-regulated GLUT4 trafficking in adipocytes.
