Psychiatry related information on Lsd-2

 

High impact information on Lsd-2

  • Furthermore, we show that the accumulation of activated Akt in the cytoplasm is responsible for this phenotype and leads to a much higher expression of LSD2, the fly homologue of the vertebrate lipid-storage protein perilipin [2].
  • In addition, the demonstration that LSD2 regulates both transport and lipid metabolism suggests a link between lipid-droplet motion and lipid homeostasis [3].
  • Similar to its mammalian counterpart Perilipin, LSD2 is responsible for regulating lipid homeostasis [3].
  • We find that lack of LSD2 causes a specific transport defect: Droplet distribution fails to undergo the dramatic changes characteristic of the wild-type [3].
  • Microtubule motors: LSD2 trips the toggle [1].
 

Biological context of Lsd-2

  • We examined the function of Lsd2, one of only two PAT domain-encoding genes in the Drosophila genome [4].
  • We have generated an Lsd2 mutant and described its phenotype [5].
  • Consistent with its expression in the female germ line, we showed that Lsd2 is a maternal effect gene that is required for normal embryogenesis [5].
