Myristic acid as a checkpoint to regulate STING-dependent autophagy and interferon responses by promoting N-myristoylation
Abstract
Stimulator of interferon gene (STING) plays critical roles in the host response to infection and in the production of interferon. Here the authors suggests myristic acid is involved in the homeostatic balancing of STING dependent autophagy and the interferon response.
