Entrez Gene Summary
The protein encoded by this gene coats lipid storage droplets in adipocytes, thereby protecting them until they can be broken down by hormone-sensitive lipase. The encoded protein is the major cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrate in adipocytes and, when unphosphorylated, may play a role in the inhibition of lipolysis.

UniProt Summary
FUNCTION: SwissProt: O60240 # Modulator of adipocyte lipid metabolism, it coats lipid storage droplets to protect them to be broken down by hormone- sensitive lipase (HSL). Its absence may result in leanness. SIZE: 522 amino acids; 55950 Da SUBUNIT: Interacts with ABHD5 (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Lipid droplet (By similarity). Note=Lipid droplet surface-associated (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Adipocytes. PTM: Major cAMP-dependent protein kinase-substrate in adipocytes, also dephosphorylated by PP1. When phosphorylated, may be maximally sensitive to HSL and when unphosphorylated, may play a role in the inhibition of lipolysis, by acting as a barrier in lipid droplet (By similarity). SIMILARITY: SwissProt: O60240 ## Belongs to the perilipin family.
