Deskripsi

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.
