To maintain a proper lipid composition of cellular membranes is fundamental for cell viability and intracellular signalling. Therefore we hypothesised the existence of membrane quality control homeostatic mechanisms. Previously, we have shown that Pyruvate Carboxylase (PC), an enzyme involved in de novo lipogenesis and fuel partitioning, is a target of PPARγ and that PC level is decreased in PPARγ KO and obese insulin resistant mouse models. Here, we used RNAi...
