Abstract

LPCAT3 is an integral membrane acyltransferase in the Lands cycle responsible for generating C20:4 phospholipids and has been implicated in key biological processes such as intestinal lipid absorption, lipoprotein assembly, and ferroptosis. Small-molecule inhibitors of LPCAT3 have not yet been descr...
