Primary Identifier | MGI:1914218 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 66968 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity and lipase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of sequestering of triglyceride; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in cytosol. Colocalizes with lipid droplet. Is expressed in brown fat. Orthologous to human PLIN5 (perilipin 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit excessive fatty acid oxidation, abnormal lipid levels in organs depending on fed or fasted state, increased oxygen consumption and activity in the dark phase, and decreased cardiac muscle contractility in aged mice.
