The first structure of a lipin enzyme, which carries out an important step in the production of triglycerides, the main reservoir for long-term energy storage, will help scientists to better ...

Stony Brook University researchers are now able to address many long-standing questions about the formation of triglyceride molecules since they were able to visualize the structure of the lipin ...

This structure answers a long-standing question for how two essential regions, N-lip and C-lip, which are located on opposite ends of this protein in humans, come together to form a function enzyme to ...

Doctors regularly warn their patients that having high levels of triglycerides, a major dietary fat, can increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and fatty liver disease. There is ...

Researchers visualized the first structure of a lipin enzyme - which helps make triglycerides - a first after 20 years of research. Creating the structure enabled researchers to see how two regions (N ...
