Research Topic
Elucidation of membrane phospholipid diversity related to the biological function, health, and diseases.
- Focusing on LPLATs (lysophospholipid acyltransferase)*
- Utilization and development of Lipidomics by LC-MS
- Screening of lipid biomarkers for various diseases and disease models
- Development of novel drugs regulating LPLATs and phospholipids
*LPLATs biosynthesize diverse phospholipids using acyl-CoAs and lysophospholipids. Phospholipid compositions regulated by LPLATs affect many biological functions.
