Protein name Seipin (Bernardinelli-Seip congenital lipodystrophy type 2 protein)
Protein 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:30293840, PubMed:31708432). In association with LDAF1, defines the
