AbstractGlycation, a non-enzymatic post-translational modification occurring on proteins, can be actively reversed via site-specific phosphorylation of the fructose-lysine moiety by FN3K kinase, to impact the cellular function of the target protein. A regulatory axis between FN3K and glycated protein targets has been associated with conditions like diabetes and cancer. However, the molecular basis of this relationship has not been explored so far.

Liver diseases pose a significant health concern for women, with several factors contributing to their susceptibility. Autoimmune diseases, such as autoimmune hepatitis, are more prevalent among women, leading to liver inflammation and damage. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is another common concern, with women being more susceptible to its severity and liver fibrosis due to factors like obesity and sedentary lifestyles.
