Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables lipid transfer activity; molecular condensate scaffold activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Involved in lipid droplet fusion; lipid storage; and negative regulation of lipid metabolic process. Is active in lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; endocrine gland; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial partial lipodystrophy type 5. Orthologous to human CIDEC (cell death inducing DFFA like effector c).
