Fat storage-inducing transmembrane proteins: beyond mediating lipid droplet formation

open access: yesCellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2022
Fat storage-inducing transmembrane proteins (FITMs) were initially identified in 2007 as members of a conserved endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident transmembrane protein gene family, and were found to be involved in lipid droplet (LD) formation. Recently,
