Gene: PLIN4

Alternate names for this Gene: KIAA1881|S3-12

Gene Summary: Members of the perilipin family, such as PLIN4, coat intracellular lipid storage droplets (Wolins et al., 2003 [PubMed 12840023]).[supplied by OMIM, Feb 2010]. Sequence Note: The RefSeq transcript and protein were derived from genomic sequence to make the sequence consistent with the reference genome assembly. The genomic coordinates used for the transcript record were based on alignments. Publication Note: This RefSeq record includes a subset of the publications that are available for this gene.
