Protein Coding Gene : Plin2 perilipin 2

Primary Identifier  MGI:87920 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  4 NCBI Gene Number  11520
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)

Acts upstream of or within lipid storage and long-chain fatty acid transport. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; lipid droplet; and nucleus. Is expressed in hindlimb tendon and pancreas epithelium. Orthologous to human PLIN2 (perilipin 2).
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for null mutations are resistant to diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis and may exhibit altered milk composition, vision abnormalities, or small sebaceous glands. Male mice homozygous for a gene trap allele are infertile. [provided by MGI curators]
