products description :
Adipocyte differentiation-related protein (ADFP) also called Adipophilin is associated with the globule surface membrane material. ADFP (Adipophilin) occurs in a wide range of cultured cell lines, including fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells. ADFP may be a possible indicator for the identification of specialized differentiated cells containing lipid droplets and for diseases that link to fat-accumulating cells.

ncbi summary :
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the perilipin family, members of which coat intracellular lipid storage droplets. This protein is associated with the lipid globule surface membrane material, and maybe involved in development and maintenance of adipose tissue. However, it is not restricted to adipocytes as previously thought, but is found in a wide range of cultured cell lines, including fibroblasts, endothelial and epithelial cells, and tissues, such as lactating mammary gland, adrenal cortex, Sertoli and Leydig cells, and hepatocytes in alcoholic liver cirrhosis, suggesting that it may serve as a marker of lipid accumulation in diverse cell types and diseases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
