Thioesterase superfamily member 1 undergoes stimulus-coupled conformational reorganization to regulate metabolism in mice

Cold exposure activates thermogenesis and fatty acid oxidation in brown fat, a process suppressed by Them1. Here, the authors show that cold induces Them1 phosphorylation and loss of puncta that suppress fatty acid use, leading to a diffuse localization and increased energy expenditure in mice.
