Perilipin5 protects against lipotoxicity and alleviates endoplasmic reticulum stress in pancreatic β-cells
Abstract Background Chronic exposure of pancreatic β-cells to excess free fatty acids is thought to contribute to type 2 diabetes pathogenesis in obesity by impairing β-cell function and even leading to apoptosis. In β-cells, lipid droplet-associated protein perilipin 5 (PLIN5) has been shown to enh...
