Lipids are a fundamental class of organic molecules implicated in a wide range of biological
processes related to their structural diversity, and based on this can be broadly classified …

Long-chain fatty acids and lipids serve a wide variety of functions in mammalian
homeostasis, particularly in the formation and dynamic properties of biological membranes …

Due to its genetic tractability and increasing wealth of accessible data, the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a model system of choice for the study of the genetics …

The uptake and metabolism of long chain fatty acids (LCFA) are critical to many
physiological and cellular processes. Aberrant accumulation or depletion of LCFA underlie …

Plant cuticle is an extracellular lipid‐based matrix of cutin and waxes, which covers aerial
organs and protects them from many forms of environmental stress. We report here the …

Lipids as fuel for energy provision originate from different sources: albumin-bound long-
chain fatty acids (LCFA) in the blood plasma, circulating very-low-density lipoproteins …

Peroxisomal fatty acid degradation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires an array
of β-oxidation enzyme activities as well as a set of auxiliary activities to provide the β …

Acyl-coenzyme A synthetases (ACSs) catalyze the fundamental, initial reaction in fatty acid
metabolism." Activation" of fatty acids by thioesterification to CoA allows their participation in …

Translocation of proteins across membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion,
and chloroplast has been shown to be mediated by targeting signals present in the …

We examined whether, in human obesity and type 2 diabetes, long chain fatty acid (LCFA)
transport into skeletal muscle is upregulated and contributes to an excess intramuscular …
