Short Name | SCS3 |
description | This entry represents Acyl-coenzyme A diphosphatase SCS3 from fungi, a member of the fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein family (FITM) and an orthologue of human FIT2. This protein is required for maintaining ER structure and for lipid droplets (LDs) biogenesis [, , ]. SCS3 may support directional budding of nascent LDs from the ER into the cytosol by reducing DAG levels at sites of LD formation [, ]and it is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis [, , ]. |
