Perturbation of transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 expression alters lipid metabolism in a human liver cell line
2021-08-04
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by accumulation of excess lipids in hepatocytes. Genome wide association studies have identified strong association of NAFLD with non-synonymous E167K amino acid mutation in transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) protein. The E167K mutation affects TM6SF2 stability and its carriers display increased hepatic lipids levels and lower serum...
