N88S seipin-related seipinopathy is a lipidopathy associated with loss of iron homeostasis.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Seipin is a protein encoded by the BSCL2 gene in humans and SEI1 gene in yeast, forming an Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-bound homo-oligomer. This oligomer is crucial in targeting ER-lipid droplet (LD) contact sites, facilitating the delivery of triacylglycerol (TG) to nascent LDs. Mutations in BSCL2, particularly N88S and S90L, lead to seipinopathies, which correspond to a cohort of motor neuron...
