Function
Lipid transferase specifically expressed in hepatocytes, which promotes unilocular lipid droplet formation by mediating lipid droplet fusion. Lipid droplet fusion promotes their enlargement, restricting lipolysis and favoring lipid storage. Localizes on the lipid droplet surface, at focal contact sites between lipid droplets, and mediates atypical lipid droplet fusion by promoting directional net neutral lipid transfer from the smaller to larger lipid droplets.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Lipid droplet; Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Peripheral membrane protein); Golgi apparatus; Cytoplasmic vesicle, COPI-coated vesicle
