Quantitative trait locus mapping identifies the Gpnmb gene as a modifier of mouse macrophage lysosome function

Abstract We have previously shown that the DBA/2J versus AKR/J mouse strain is associated with decreased autophagy-mediated lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesterol esters. Our objective was to determine differences in lysosome function in AKR/J and DBA/2J macrophages, and identify the responsible genes....
