Palmitoylation of apoB48 influences its intracellular trafficking and membrane partitioning but is not essential for the assembly of very low density lipoproteins.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
ApoB48 palmitoylation modulates trafficking and secretion efficiency in animal models; leaves open its necessity for VLDL assembly in humans.
Vukmirica et al. (2003) studied this question.
