Research Abstract |
Phosphatidylinositols are one of the important lipids composed of cell membranes, and there are eight species. Their abundance is very little, but they function as a signal molecule, and the dysfunction of the production or degradation of each species causes critical diseases, so they have been extensively researched. In this study, we analyzed the physiological roles by creating knockout mice for their enzymes. We found that the enzymes had an important role in thyroid tumors.
