| Tissue Specificity | Adipose tissue specific. Expressed abundantly and preferentially in fat pads. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Acylated.primarily with C14, C16 and C18 fatty acids. Phosphorylation at Tyr-230 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. Polyubiquitination of Nt-acetylatable A-PLIN2 by MARCHF6 lead to degradation by 26S proteasomes. |
| Function | Structural component of lipid droplets, which is required for the formation and maintenance of lipid storage droplets. |
