Outlook: Membrane junctions enable the metabolic trapping of fatty acids by intracellular acyl-CoA synthetases
The mechanism of fatty acid uptake is of high interest for basic research and clinical interventions. Recently we showed that mammalian long chain fatty acyl-CoA synthetases (ACS) are not only essential enzymes for lipid metabolism but are also involved in cellular fatty acid uptake. Overexpression,...
