-   Adipophilin is a specific marker of lipid accumulation in diverse cell types. Plin2 is a lipid droplet-associated protein, which is required for the formation and maintenance of lipid storage droplets. ADFP is important in regulation of lipid metabolism and insulin secretion in beta-cells [PMID: 9799447, PMID: 16962104, PMID: 20484013].
-   ADFP is involved in fatty acid uptake, formation or stabilization of lipid droplets in these cells, and serves as a shuttling protein of lipid substrate to the lipid droplets [PMID: 10358026].
