Name
BSCL2 lipid droplet biogenesis associated, seipin
Synonyms
  • AI046355
  • expressed sequence AI046355
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable phospholipid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including fat cell differentiation; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adipose tissue development; cytosolic lipolysis; and lipid droplet formation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in brown fat; early conceptus; and secondary oocyte. Used to study congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2 and male infertility. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 13; congenital generalized lipodystrophy type 2; hereditary spastic paraplegia; hereditary spastic paraplegia 17; and lipodystrophy. Orthologous to human BSCL2 (BSCL2 lipid droplet biogenesis associated, seipin).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit severe generalized lipodystrophy with hepatic steatosis, glucose intolerance, and insulin resistance. [provided by MGI curators]
