Journal of Lipid Research, 1993 Microsomes from liver and several other tissues esterify retinol through both fatty acyl-CoA-dependent and -independent reactions. Two activities, acyl-CoA:retinol acyltransferase (ARAT) and lecithin:retinol acyltransferase (LRAT) activities, have been characterized enzymatically but neither has yet been purified and characterized biochemically.

Synthetic Biology: A Bridge between Artificial and Natural Cells. [PDF]
, 2014 Artificial cells are simple cell-like entities that possess certain properties of natural cells. In general, artificial cells are constructed using three parts: (1) biological membranes that serve as protective barriers, while allowing communication ...

Associations between the K232A polymorphism in the diacylglycerol-O-transferase 1 (DGAT1) gene and performance in Irish Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle [PDF]
, 2010 peer-reviewedSelection based on genetic polymorphisms requires accurate quantification of the effect or association of the polymorphisms with all traits of economic importance. The objective of this study was to estimate, using progeny performance data

Proliferative glioblastoma cancer cells exhibit persisting temporal control of metabolism and display differential temporal drug susceptibility in chemotherapy [PDF]
, 2019 Even in immortalized cell lines, circadian clocks regulate physiological processes in a time-dependent manner, driving transcriptional and metabolic rhythms, the latter being able to persist without transcription.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1998 Triacylglycerols are quantitatively the most important storage form of energy for eukaryotic cells. Acyl CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20) catalyzes the terminal and only committed step in triacylglycerol synthesis, by using ...

A novel pathway for lipid biosynthesis: the direct acylation of glycerol
Journal of Lipid Research, 2001 The acylation of glycerol-3-phosphate by acyl-CoA is regarded as the first committed step for the synthesis of the lipoidal moiety in glycerolipids. The direct acylation of glycerol in mammalian tissues has not been demonstrated.
