Fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2
text:
Fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2 (FITM2) affects the formation of triglyceride lipid droplets (LD). It is expressed in high quantities in the endoplasmic reticulum of adipose tissues. FIT2 is part of the FIT protein family. These proteins are present in most life forms with FIT1 and FIT2 specifically present in mammals. While the exact mechanism is unknown, knockout studies in mice produce lipotrophy and metabolic deficiencies. The lipotrophy was also shown to increase with age. With
