Further, functional studies show that TM6SF2 interacts with apolipoprotein B (APOB) and ER lipid raft proteins (ERLINs) to promote proper APOB stability and ER-to‐Golgi trafficking.

Recent in vitro models using human 3D hepatic spheroids and genetic knockdown strategies have confirmed that TM6SF2 deficiency not only exacerbates hepatic lipid accumulation but also perturbs key metabolic pathways including cholesterol and glucose metabolism.
