About this Research Topic
The goal of this research topic is to provide a comprehensive overview of the detailed roles and regulatory mechanisms of protein lactylation in disease progression, including the identification of histone lactylation-activated genes and the unraveling of the underlying mechanisms, identification of non-histone proteins that are lactylated in disease progression, and the new factors that regulate protein lactylation.
We welcome discussions covering, but not limited to, the following aspects:
1. Biological function of protein lactylation in disease progression.
2. Protein lactylation as a target for disease therapy.
3. New lactyltransferases in disease progression.
4. New delactylation enzymes in disease progression.
5. Other mechanisms that regulate protein lactylation in disease progression.
Keywords: Lactylation, histone, nonhistone protein, disease, therapeutic targets
