Lipid droplets also serve as platforms for protein binding and degradation.

The protein is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum and lipid droplets.

The lipid droplets in the cell body store vitamin A as retinol ester.

The cells have large cytoplasmic lipid droplets interspersed throughout.

The cholesterol esters are then stored as cytoplasmic lipid droplets inside the cell.

These proteins have mostly beta-sheet structure and associate with lipid droplets irreversibly.

These proteins consist of alpha-helices and associate with lipid droplets reversibly.

The most common inclusions are glycogen, lipid droplets, crystals and pigments.

Lipid droplets as dynamic organelles of the fat deposition and release: translational research towards human disease.

Unlike white fat cells, these cells have considerable cytoplasm, with lipid droplets scattered throughout.

Electronmicroscopy showed numerous lipid droplets, scarcity of cytoplasmic cells, and normal mitochondria.

Caveolin associates with cholesterol, fatty acids and lipid droplets and is involved in its regulation.

TIP47 protein is most commonly described in the scientific literature as a coat protein for lipid droplets.

Inhibition of lipid metabolism reduces/removes lipid droplets from HuH7 cells.

The asci initials are cytoplasmic containing lipid droplets and glycogen granules.

White fat cells or monovacuolar cells contain a large lipid droplet surrounded by a layer of cytoplasm.

Nile red stains intracellular lipid droplets red.

Resorptive cells, which may be unique to harvestmen, contain lipid droplets, glycogen and mineral spherites.

Lipid droplets are found in all eukaryotic organisms and store a large portion of lipids in mammalian adipocytes.

The surface of lipid droplets is decorated by a number of proteins which are involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism.

Perilipin is a protein that coats lipid droplets in adipocytes, the fat-storing cells in adipose tissue.

Finally, lipid droplets are known to be exploited by pathogens such as the hepatitis C virus, the dengue virus and chlamydia trachomatis among others.

The first and best-characterized family of lipid droplet coat proteins is the perilipin protein family, consisting of five proteins.

In hepatitis C infected HuH7 cells, this reduction/removal of lipid droplets significantly reduces virion formation and release.

The core protein associates with lipid droplets and utilises microtubules and dyneins to alter their location to a perinuclear distribution.
