In support of this hypothesis, our MS interactome indicates the association of active GLP-1R with a range of factors involved in lipid metabolism, including lipases and regulators of lipase transfer to lipid droplets such as Mest 76 and Copb1 77 , lipid metabolising enzymes including TMEM120A 78 , Acsl4 79 , Fads1 80 , Chp1 81 , Cds2 82 , and Apgat4 83 , and mitochondrial FAO and ketone body enzymes (HADHA/B 84 , Bdh1 85 ), as well as the ER/lipid droplet small GTPase Rab18 86 , several subunits of the mitochondrial ATP synthase, the respiratory chain subunit SDHA, and the FAO-fuelled plasma membrane Na + /K + pump 87
