Deskripsi

Vps34 is a lipid kinase conserved from yeast to humans and involved in in intracellular vesicular trafficking and autophagy. Here Bilanges et al. show that inhibition of this kinase in mice improves glucose tolerance and diet-induced steatosis by modulating mitochondrial respiration and metabolism.
