MeSH definition : A perilipin protein characterized by an extensive 11-mer repeat region, which forms
five adjacent alpha-helices. It is expressed primarily in WHITE ADIPOSE TISSUE and
differentiating ADIPOCYTES, as well as skeletal muscle and heart. It is soluble in
the cytoplasm but re-localizes to the surface of LIPID DROPLETS under high lipid conditions.;
