Scientists have identified a protein that acts as a kind of traffic controller for fat inside cells, revealing a mechanism that could help explain how the body regulates energy storage and why things go wrong in metabolic disease. Essentially, removing CHP1 led to a dramatic reduction in the size of the lipid droplets, suggesting that this protein is a key regulator of fat metabolism within a cell. "Our findings provide a clearer picture of the intricate machinery that controls how cells store fat," said lead author Guang Yang from UNSW's School of Biotechnology and Biomolecular Science.
