| Research Abstract |
We investigated possible lipid-metabolizing activities of HRASLS family members which were originally identified as tumor suppressor genes. H-rev107, HRASLS2 and TIG3, which are included in the HRASLS family members, showed lipid-metabolizing activities using glycerophospholipids as substrate. PCR analysis revealed that H-rev107 and TIG3 are expressed in all the tissues examined, with the highest expression of H-rev107 in adipose tissue. On the other hand, the expression of HRASLS2 was dominant in liver and kidney with low levels in other tissues.
