Summary
PLIN3 (perilipin 3, HGNC:16893) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19p13.3, encoding Perilipin-3 (O60664). Structural component of lipid droplets, which is required for the formation and maintenance of lipid storage droplets.
Mannose 6-phophate receptors (MPRs) deliver lysosomal hydrolase from the Golgi to endosomes and then return to the Golgi complex. The protein encoded by this gene interacts with the cytoplasmic domains of both cation-independent and cation-dependent MPRs, and is required for endosome-to-Golgi transport. This protein also binds directly to the GTPase RAB9 (RAB9A), a member of the RAS oncogene family. The interaction with RAB9 has been shown to increase the affinity of this protein for its cargo. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Structural component of lipid droplets, which is required for the formation and maintenance of lipid storage droplets. Required for the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPR) from endosomes to the trans-Golgi network.
Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Interacts with M6PR (via the cytoplasmic domain). Interacts with IGF2R (via the cytoplasmic domain). May exist as a homodimer.
Subcellular location. Lipid droplet. Endosome membrane. Cytoplasm.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation at Tyr-251 by isoform 1 of CHKA (CHKalpha2) promotes dissociation from lipid droplets: dissociation is followed by recruitment of autophagosome machinery to lipid droplets and subsequent lipid droplet lipolysis.
Similarity. Belongs to the perilipin family.
