6mlu

Cryo-EM structure of lipid droplet formation protein Seipin/BSCL2

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 6mlu is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Drosophila melanogaster. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 4Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function BSCL2_DROME Is a regulator of lipid catabolism essential for adipocyte differentiation. May also be involved in the central regulation of energy homeostasis (By similarity). Necessary for correct lipid storage and lipid droplets maintenance; plays a tissue-autonomous role in controlling lipid storage in adipocytes and in preventing ectopic lipid droplet formation in non-adipose tissues. May participate in phosphatidic acid metabolism and subsequently down-regulate lipogenesis.[UniProtKB:Q9Z2E9]
