Recently, Miquilena-Colina and colleagues elucidated that the CD36 protein was largely expressed at the plasma membrane of hepatocytes in patients with HCV genotype 1 and hepatic steatosis, and patients with NASH[23], while the expression was predominantly located in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes in CH-C patients without hepatic steatosis. The gene discussed is CD36; the disease is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
