TL;DR: Immunocytochemistry and subcellular fractionation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes show that FATP is localized to the plasma membrane, and it is proposed thatfatP is a plasma membrane transporter for LCFAs.

A Novel Serum Protein Similar to C1q, Produced Exclusively in Adipocytes
TL;DR: A novel 30-kDa secretory protein, Acrp30 (adipocyte complement-related protein of 30 kDa), that is made exclusively in adipocytes and whose mRNA is induced over 100-fold during adipocyte differentiation is described.

Role of Endogenous Cannabinoids in Synaptic Signaling
TL;DR: The synthetic pathways of endocannabinoids are discussed, along with the putative mechanisms of their release, uptake, and degradation, and the fine-grain anatomical distribution of the neuronal cannabinoid receptor CB1 is described in most brain areas, emphasizing its general presynaptic localization and role in controlling neurotransmitter release.
The proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) family: structure, function and regulation
TL;DR: There is still much work to be done to characterize the properties of the different MCT isoforms and their regulation, which may have wide-ranging implications for health and disease.

Molecular mechanism of PPARα action and its impact on lipid metabolism, inflammation and fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
TL;DR: The transcriptional activation and repression mechanisms by PPAR α, the spectrum of target genes and chromatin-binding maps from recent genome-wide studies, are discussed, paying particular attention to PPARα-regulation of hepatic fatty acid and plasma lipoprotein metabolism during nutritional transition, and of the inflammatory response.

Role of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) in mediating the effects of fibrates and fatty acids on gene expression.
TL;DR: It is suggested that PPARs are key messengers responsible for the translation of nutritional and pharmacological stimuli into changes in gene expression and differentiation pathways.

Basic Local Alignment Search Tool
TL;DR: A new approach to rapid sequence comparison, basic local alignment search tool (BLAST), directly approximates alignments that optimize a measure of local similarity, the maximal segment pair (MSP) score.

DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors
TL;DR: A new method for determining nucleotide sequences in DNA is described, which makes use of the 2',3'-dideoxy and arabinon nucleoside analogues of the normal deoxynucleoside triphosphates, which act as specific chain-terminating inhibitors of DNA polymerase.
A simple method for displaying the hydropathic character of a protein
Jack Kyte,Russell F. Doolittle +1 more
TL;DR: A computer program that progressively evaluates the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of a protein along its amino acid sequence has been devised and its simplicity and its graphic nature make it a very useful tool for the evaluation of protein structures.

Distantly related sequences in the alpha- and beta-subunits of ATP synthase, myosin, kinases and other ATP-requiring enzymes and a common nucleotide binding fold.
TL;DR: Related sequences in both alpha and beta and in other enzymes that bind ATP or ADP in catalysis help to identify regions contributing to an adenine nucleotide binding fold in both ATP synthase subunits.
