Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Plays an important role in the formation of lipid droplets (LD) which are storage organelles at the center of lipid and energy homeostasis (PubMed:31708432). In association with BSCL2/seipin, defines the sites of LD formation in the endoplasmic reticulum (PubMed:31708432)
