Abstract:
... Pexophagy is the selective degradation of peroxisomes for maintaining peroxisome homeostasis within cells. Peroxisome dynamics and pexophagy are important events required to maintain the quality control of peroxisomes, thereby preventing peroxisome-associated diseases. To identify novel pexophagy modulators, we developed a cell-based screening system and selected 2,2′-dipyridyl (2,2-DP) as a candi ...
