research Sdr16c5 and Sdr16c6 control a dormant pathway at a bifurcation point between meibogenesis and sebogenesis
This study on Sdr16c5/Sdr16c6-null mice found that inactivating these genes significantly increased Meibomian gland secretions and altered lipid profiles but had a subtle impact on sebogenesis, suggesting the genes control a bifurcation point in meibogenesis pathways.
