liver RNAseq in the CD model is fascinating

the G3P-ChREBP program turns on key genes for de novo lipogenesis including PKLR, ACLY, ACACA, FASN (directing synthesis of the fatty acids that will be linked to G3P & the enzymes like AGPAT2 that link them to G3P)

AGPAT2 acts at the crossroads of lipid biosynthesis and DRP1-mediated ER morphogenesis - Nature Communications
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the major site for lipid synthesis, yet the role of lipids in ER morphogenesis remains elusive. Here, Adachi et al. identify the ER-resident enzyme AGPAT2, which bind...
