research The triacylglycerol synthesis enzyme DGAT1 also catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters

258 citations , July 2005 in “Journal of lipid research”

This study found that DGAT1 exhibits additional acyltransferase activities in vitro, including MGAT, wax synthase, and ARAT activities, suggesting these could be relevant to its in vivo functions.

research Convergent Decay of Skin-specific Gene Modules in Pangolins

1 citations , December 2022 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study investigated pangolin skin genetics, finding that while sweat gland-related genes are not inactivated, several genes related to sebaceous gland function are, which highlights complex evolutionary adaptations in mammalian skin.

Preparation of 4-Aryl-2-Trifluoromethylbenzonitrile Derivatives as Androgen Receptor Antagonists for Topical Suppression of Sebum Production

research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production

11 citations , August 2007 in “Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters”

This study found that among the tested analogs, compound 4e was the most effective in inhibiting wax esters in vivo in the Golden Syrian hamster ear model.
