The RNA-binding protein vigilin regulates VLDL secretion through modulation of Apob mRNA translation

RNA-binding proteins (RBP) are an emerging group of post-translational regulators. Here the authors show that the RBP vigilin regulates translation of mRNA encoding for proatherogenic proteins—apoB, apoC-III and fibronectin—representing a potential therapeutic target in cardiovascular diseases.
