Entrez ID 550
Gene name AUP1 lipid droplet regulating VLDL assembly factor
Gene symbol AUP1
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
-
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2p13.1
Summary The protein encoded this gene is involved in several pathways including quality control of misfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplet accumulation. Lipid droplets are organelles in the cytoplasm that store neutral lipids such as cho
