{"symbol":"PLIN1","synonyms":["FPLD4","PERI","PLIN"],"name":"perilipin 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene coats lipid storage droplets in adipocytes, thereby protecting them until they can be broken down by hormone-sensitive lipase. The encoded protein is the major cAMP-dependent protein kinase substrate in adipocytes and, when unphosphorylated, may play a role in the inhibition of lipolysis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants varying in the 5\u0027 UTR, but encoding the same protein, have been found for this gene.
