Lipid Droplets Fluorescence Assay Kit

Stability : 1 year
Description :
Lipid droplets are lipid storage organelles found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells. The storage of lipids in mammalian cells was long considered to occur mainly in adipocytes and steroidogenic cells. Lipid droplets were treated as inert organelles in which excess fatty acids were converted to neutral lipids to be used for metabolism, membrane synthesis (phospholipids and cholesterol), and steroid synthesis. Further evidence demonstrates that lipid droplets are complexes composed of lipids together with PAT proteins, including Perilipin (P), adipophilin (A), and tail-interacting protein of 47 kDa (TIP 47, T). Lipid droplets are a fundamental component of intracellular lipid homeostasis in all cell types, and they can provide a rapidly mobilized lipid source for many important biological processes such as membrane trafficking and cell signaling.
