Abstract excerpt
17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 11 (17betaHSD11) is mostly localized on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane under normal conditions and redistributes to lipid droplets (LDs) when the formation of LDs is induced. In this study, confocal microscopy analyses of the subcellular localization of the mutated 17betaHSD11 proteins in cells with or without LDs revealed that both an N-terminal hydrophobic...
