SR-4995 is a potent and selective ligand of α-β-hydrolase domain containing 5 (ABHD5) that activates adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) by dissociating ABHD5 from its inhibitory regulator, perilipin-1 (PLIN1) and PLIN5. SR-4995 directly binds to ABHD5 and prevents ABHD5 to PLIN1. SR-4995 induces lipolysis in adipocytes and muscle, avoiding PKA-dependent signaling.
