Gene information for PLIN1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5346
Official gene symbolPLIN1
Full nameperilipin 1
Aliases,PERI,PLIN,
Gene summaryThe 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants varying in the 5' UTR, but encoding the same protein, have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
