Chemical proteomics: a powerful tool for exploring protein lipidation [PDF]
, 2013 The study of post-translational modifications such as protein lipidation is a non-trivial challenge of the post-genomic era. In recent years the field of chemical proteomics has greatly advanced our ability to identify and quantify protein lipidation. In

Serum amyloid A is not incorporated into HDL during HDL biogenesis[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2020 Liver-derived serum amyloid A (SAA) is present in plasma where it is mainly associated with HDL and from which it is cleared more rapidly than are the other major HDL-associated apolipoproteins.

Autophagic flux is required for the synthesis of triacylglycerols and ribosomal protein turnover in Chlamydomonas [PDF]
, 2018 Autophagy is an intracellular catabolic process that allows cells to recycle unneeded or damaged material to maintain cellular homeostasis. This highly dynamic process is characterized by the formation of double-membrane vesicles called autophagosomes ...

Protein Lipidation by Palmitoylation and Myristoylation in Cancer
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 Posttranslational modification of proteins with lipid moieties is known as protein lipidation. The attachment of a lipid molecule to proteins endows distinct properties, which affect their hydrophobicity, structural stability, localization, trafficking ...
