Modulation of fatty acid-binding capacity of heart fatty acid-binding protein by oxygen-derived free radicals.

abstract：:Stress granules are evolutionally conserved ribonucleoprotein structures that are formed in response to various stress stimuli. Recent studies have demonstrated that proteins with low complexity (LC) regions play a critical role for the formation of stress granules. In this study, we report that FAM98A, whose biologic...
