Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Seipin is a protein encoded by the <italic>BSCL2</italic> gene in humans and <italic>SEI1</italic> 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 seipino...
