Summary: Enables diacylglycerol binding activity and triglyceride binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular triglyceride homeostasis; lipid droplet formation; and positive regulation of sequestering of triglyceride. Acts upstream of or within sequestering of triglyceride. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Orthologous to human FITM2 (fat storage inducing transmembrane protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Title: Destabilization of β Cell FIT2 by saturated fatty acids alter lipid droplet numbers and contribute to ER stress and diabetes.
The results suggest that Mouse (Mus musculus) fat storage-inducing transmembrane protein 2 (MmFIT2) recruits sesquiterpene synthetic machinery to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomains involved in lipid droplet (LD) formation and that this process can enhance the efficiency of sesquiterpene biosynthesis and compartmentalization in plant cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
