Scientists at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have identified a molecule which plays a key role in both the regulation of body fat and the release of insulin from the pancreas. Two papers presenting the results are published online by the journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Both studies involve a receptor molecule called ALK7. ALK7 is found in several organs involved in regulating the metabolism, including the pancreas, adipose tissue, the gut and the brain. However, the physiological functions of this molecule are not well known.
