Lipofuscin is a granular, yellow-brown pigment found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells. It is composed of a heterogeneous mixture of lipids, proteins, and other substances, including lipofuscin-specific proteins, which are unique to this pigment. Lipofuscin is also known as age pigment or age brown, and its accumulation is a normal part of the aging process in most cells. It is particularly prominent in cells with high metabolic activity, such as neurons and cardiac muscle cells.
The formation of lipofuscin involves the degradation of cellular components, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids,
Lipofuscin has been studied in various contexts, including its role in neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disease, and
Despite its potential role in disease, the exact function of lipofuscin remains unclear. Some studies suggest
