Lkb1 controls brown adipose tissue growth and thermogenesis by regulating the intracellular localization of CRTC3

The kinase Lkb1 is expressed in various metabolic tissues and is known to regulate cellular and systemic energy homeostasis. Here, the authors delete Lkb1 specifically in mature adipocytes of mice to show that Lkb1 regulates brown adipose tissue expansion and expression of UCP1.
