PRKN and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: To highlight the significance of this post-translational modification in the pathogenesis of NAFLD and to aid in the development of new therapeutic approaches for the disease, we will discuss the role of enzymes involved in the processes of ubiquitination and deubiquitination, specifically E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes that are important in the regulation of NAFLD.
