About this Research Topic
This research topic aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the roles and regulatory mechanisms of protein lactylation in disease progression. The objectives include identifying histone lactylation-activated genes, unraveling the underlying mechanisms of lactylation, and discovering non-histone proteins that undergo lactylation during disease progression. Additionally, the research seeks to identify new factors that regulate protein lactylation, thereby offering insights into potential therapeutic interventions.
To gather further insights into the complex landscape of protein lactylation in disease progression, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Biological function of protein lactylation in disease progression.
- Protein lactylation as a target for disease therapy.
- New lactyltransferases in disease progression.
- New delactylation enzymes in disease progression.
- Other mechanisms that regulate protein lactylation in disease progression.
Keywords: Lactylation, histone, nonhistone protein, disease, therapeutic targets
