TY - GEN T1 - Vitellogenin-2 acts downstream of PRY-1/Axin to regulate lipids and lifespan in C. elegans AU - Mallick, Avijit AU - Gupta, Bhagwati P DO - 10.17912/micropub.biology.000281 UR - http://beta.micropublication.org/journals/biology/micropub-biology-000281/ AB - Lipid metabolism plays an essential role in the survival and adaptation of animals under variable environmental conditions. Lipids are important macromolecules that store energy, serve as structural components, and function as signaling molecules (Watts and Ristow 2017; Papsdorf and Brunet 2019). Defects in lipid metabolism are linked to various diseases and aging in eukaryotes. Therefore, understanding the regulation of this process is critical to modulating disease progression (Wymann and Schneiter 2008). PY - 2020 JO - microPublication Biology ER -
