ALCAT1 controls mitochondrial etiology of fatty liver diseases, linking defective mitophagy to steatosis
9 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Defective autophagy is implicated in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD) through poorly defined mechanisms. Cardiolipin is a mitochondrial phospholipid required for bioenergetics and mitophagy from yeast to mammals. Here we investigated a role for ALCAT1 in the development of NAFLD. ALCAT1 is a lysocardiolipin acyltransferase that catalyzes pathological cardiolipin remodeling...
