Brain Control of Plasma Cholesterol Involves Polysialic Acid Molecules in the Hypothalamus
The polysialic acid (PSA) is a large glycan that is added to cell-surface proteins during their post-translational maturation. In the brain, PSA modulates distances between cells and controls the plasticity of the nervous system. In the hypothalamus, PSA is involved in many aspects of energy balance...
