Research reveals that fatty acid desaturase influences membrane deformation in animal cells, indicating its vital role in cellular mechanics.
IntroductionThe mechanical properties of cell membranes affect various cellular events including cell division, migration, and vesicular transport 1,2) .This is because these cellular events involve deformation of the membrane, which requires proper membrane mechanics.Therefore, the mechanical properties of cell membranes must be adequately regulated in animal cells.
