Background
| Function | FUNCTION: Plays a crucial role in the formation of lipid droplets (LDs) which are storage organelles at the center of lipid and energy homeostasis (PubMed:19278620, PubMed:21533227, PubMed:31708432, PubMed:30293840). In association with LDAF1, defines the sites of LD formation in the ER (PubMed:31708432). Also required for growth and maturation of small nascent LDs into larger mature LDs (PubMed:27564575). Mediates the formation and/or stabilization of endoplasmic reticulum-lipid droplets (ER-LD) contacts, facilitating protein and lipid delivery from the ER into growing LDs (PubMed:31178403, PubMed:27879284). Regulates the maturation of ZFYVE1-positive nascent LDs and the function of the RAB18-ZFYVE1 complex in mediating the formation of ER-LD contacts (PubMed:30970241). Binds anionic phospholipids including phosphatidic acid (PubMed:30293840). Plays an important role in the differentiation and development of adipocytes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z2E9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19278620, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21533227, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27564575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27879284, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30293840, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30970241, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31178403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:31708432}. |
