AQP3 is regulated by PPARγ and JNK in hepatic stellate cells carrying PNPLA3 I148M
Abstract Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) allow the movement of glycerol that is required for triglyceride formation in hepatic stellate cells (HSC), as key cellular source of fibrogenesis in the liver. The genetic polymorphism I148M of the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3 (PNPLA3) is associat...
