Lactate is an end product of glucose metabolism, which serves metabolic and nonmetabolic functions. A new study by Zhang et al. establishes a novel function for lactate whereby it is utilized in a new histone modification, histone lysine lactylation, to regulate gene expression in macrophages.
乳酸是葡萄糖代谢的终产物,具有代谢和非代谢功能。Zhang 等人的一项新研究确立了乳酸的一个新功能,即它被用于一种新的组蛋白修饰——组蛋白赖氨酸乳酸化,从而调节巨噬细胞中的基因表达。
