  • resides in a late endosome microdomain together with mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) and RAB9A
  • occurs in the cytosol and on endosomal membranes, and shuttles between these two compartment
  • basic FUNCTION
  • lipid droplet protein that regulate cellular neutral lipid stores
  • required for the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPR) from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network
  • delivering lysosomal hydrolase from the Golgi to endosomes and then return to the Golgi complex
  • involved in lipid droplets
  • cytosolic protein that is essential for the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) from endosomes to the trans-Golgi
  • has apolipoprotein-like properties and reorganizes liposomes into small lipid discs
  • may act as a carrier protein for free fatty acids and in this way participates in conversion of macrophages into foam cells
  • can reorganize liposomes into small lipid discs, and it is recruited to lipid droplets
