Proteins on the surface of lipid storage droplets are crucial to droplet structure and function, but are poorly understood. Recent reports reveal a function for perilipins, major lipid droplet proteins in adipocytes, and show that caveolin proteins can accumulate on lipid droplets.
脂质储存小滴表面的蛋白质对小滴的结构和功能至关重要,但目前对此了解甚少。最近的报告揭示了脂肪细胞中主要的脂质小滴蛋白——围脂滴蛋白的功能,并表明小窝蛋白可以在脂质小滴上积累。
