[22]. FACI is a small protein with around 115 amino acids and is abundantly expressed in the liver and small intestine. FACI localizes to the PM and ERC by its phosphoinositide-binding motif. Under high-fat diet,Faci−/−mice showed higher plasma cholesterol than wild type (WT) mice ...
VLDL assembly begins with the translation of apoB followed by its interaction with the inner leaflet of the endoplasmic reticulum. Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP)5 plays a crucial role in the lipidation of this nascent peptide by physically interacting with it and depositing lipids on...
