Abstract:

Fat-specific protein 27 (Fsp27),localizing in the surface of lipid droplets(LDs),plays an important role in controlling lipid store and mitochondrial activity in adipocytes.The discovery of Fsp27 genes,tissue distribution,promoting the growth mechanism of LDs,the effect on fat metabolism and the transcriptional regulation of Fsp27 gene were reviewed in present paper.It is convincing that Fsp27 gene would play a positive role in the prophylactic and therapeutic treatment of lipid metabolic disorder disease and improving meat quality with the research advancing.
