- SEI1 [Search on AGR]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Seipin involved in lipid droplet (LD) assembly; controls lipid particle morphology, number, and size; promotes initiation of LD formation on the ER; ensures that LDs bud from the ER towards the cytosolic side of the membrane; forms a complex with Ldb16p at ER-LD contact sites, stabilizing these sites; null mutants have localized accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA) marker proteins; BSCL2, human homolog implicated in congenital lipodystrophy, complements yeast null mutant
- LDH1 [Search on AGR]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Serine hydrolase; exhibits active esterase plus weak triacylglycerol lipase activities; proposed role in lipid homeostasis, regulating phospholipid and non-polar lipid levels and required for mobilization of LD-stored lipids; localizes to the lipid droplet (LD) surface; contains a classical serine containing catalytic triad (GxSxG motif)
- LPL1 [Search on AGR]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Phospholipase; contains lipase specific GXSXG motif; maintains lipid droplet (LD) morphology; induced by transcription factor Rpn4p; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
- LDB16 [Search on AGR]
Saccharomyces cerevisiae Protein involved in lipid droplet (LD) assembly; forms a complex with Sei1p at ER-LD contact sites, stabilizing contact sites; ensures that LDs bud from the ER towards the cytosolic side of the membrane; null mutants have decreased net negative cell surface charge and localized accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA) marker proteins; GFP-fusion protein expression is induced in response to MMS; null mutant can be complemented by the human seipin, BSCL2
- pxl-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables vinculin binding activity. Involved in muscle structure development; nematode larval development; and nematode pharyngeal pumping. Located in adherens junction; contractile muscle fiber; and podosome. Expressed in pharyngeal muscle cell and pharynx. Is an ortholog of human LPXN (leupaxin) and PXN (paxillin).

Homo sapiens The product encoded by this gene is preferentially expressed in hematopoietic cells and belongs to the paxillin protein family. Similar to other members of this focal-adhesion-associated adaptor-protein family, it has four leucine-rich LD-motifs in the N-terminus and four LIM domains in the C-terminus. It may function in cell type-specific signaling by associating with PYK2, a member of focal adhesion kinase family. As a substrate for a tyrosine kinase in lymphoid cells, this protein may also function in, and be regulated by, tyrosine kinase activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
