Gene nameAUP1
Protein nameLipid droplet-regulating VLDL assembly factor AUP1 (Ancient ubiquitous protein 1)
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: Plays a role in the translocation of terminally misfolded proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen to the cytoplasm and their degradation by the proteasome . Plays a role in lipid droplet formation . Induces lipid droplet clustering . Recruits ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UBE2G2 to lipid droplets which facilitates its interaction with ubiquitin ligases AMFR/gp78 and RNF139/TRC8, leading to sterol-induced ubiquitination of HMGCR and its subsequent proteasomal degradation . Also required for the degradation of INSIG1, SREBF1 and SREBF2 . Plays a role in regulating assembly and secretion of very low density lipoprotein particles and stability of apolipoprotein APOB . .; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) Following Dengue virus infection, required for induction of lipophagy which facilitates production of virus progeny particles. .
