Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes the multi-pass transmembrane protein protein seipin. This protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum and may be important for lipid droplet morphology. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congenital generalized lipodystr

UniProt ID Q96G97
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
