Perilipin 1 moves between the fat droplet and the endoplasmic reticulum

JR Skinner, LALS Harris, TM Shew, NA Abumrad… - Adipocyte, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Perilipin 1, unlike the other perilipins, is thought to be restricted to the fat droplet. We reassessed
its cellular distribution using the fat droplet marker CGI-58 in OP9 and 3T3-L1 adipocyte …
