RORα Enhances Lysosomal Acidification and Autophagic Flux in the Hepatocytes
Hyeon‐Ji Kim, Yong‐Hyun Han, Ju‐Yeon Kim, Mi‐Ock Lee – 23 August 2021 – Lysosomes are intracellular acidic organelles with catabolic functions that contribute to the activation of autophagy. Although autophagy abnormality is associated with defects in lysosomal acidification during the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the mechanisms of control of lysosomal acidification are not well understood at the molecular level.
