Description
Mitochondrial dysfunction is thought to play a significant role in neurodegeneration observed in Parkinson's disease (PD), the loss of mitoNEET (CISD1), an iron-sulfur containing protein that regulates mitochondrial bioenergetics, results in mitochondrial dysfunction and loss of striatal dopamine and tyrosine hydroxylase. CDGSH iron sulfur domain 1 (CISD1, also termed mitoNEET), an iron-containing outer mitochondrial membrane protein, negatively regulates ferroptotic cancer cell death. At the cellular level, CISD1 gene expression increased during human adipocyte differentiation in correlation with adipogenic genes.Thus it is a possible role of CISD1 in obesity-associated dysfunctional adipogenesis in human VAT
