Preferred Label : Perilipin-5;
MeSH definition : A perilipin that functions in LIPOGENESIS; LIPOLYSIS; and fatty acid oxidation in
BROWN ADIPOSE TISSUE; heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. It recruits MITOCHONDRIA
to the surface of LIPID DROPLETS where it functions in both the storage of fatty acids
as TRIGLYCERIDES, and their release for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation in response
to metabolic needs.;
MeSH synonym : Perilipin 5; LSDP5 Protein; Protein, LSDP5; OXPAT Protein; Protein, OXPAT; Lipid Storage Droplet Protein 5; PLIN5 Protein; Protein, PLIN5; Perilipin 5 Protein; Protein, Perilipin 5;
