GOLD3 - Genomics Of Lipid Droplet Biology, Component 5: Discovery of lipolytic activities by in vivo proteomic profiling

Subproject of: GOLD3 - Genomics Of Lipid Droplet Biology, Component 5: Discovery of lipolytic activities by in vivo proteomic profiling

Abstract
Lipid-associated disorders constitute a major health treat wordlwide. Currently more than one billion individuals are overweight or obese and it is estimated that by 2010 more than 300 million patients will be affected by insulin resistance and type-II diabetes.
The general aim of GOLD 3 is to elucidate processes that govern the biology of lipid droplets (LD), their synthesis and mobilization under normal and pathological conditions.
The proposed project will discover genes, proteins, and metabolites involved in the generation and catabolsim of LD in human cells. The characterization of their biochemical function, regulation od their expression, and 3-D structure will reveal currently unknown mechanisms and pathways that control the generation of lipid signalling molecules, energy substrates and membrane components affecting cell tissue function as well as energy homeostasis.
