Abstract excerpt
Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is a hydrolase essential for the intracellular degradation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. We previously reported a rat model of Wolman's disease (Wolman rat) that is deficient for LAL activity. In this study, we cloned rat LAL (RLAL) cDNA and investigated abnormal LAL gene expression in the Wolman rat. We cloned the RLAL gene from a cDNA library made from normal rat liver...
