Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** AUP1 is a gene that encodes a protein essential for lipid droplet regulation, with significant expression in erythroid progenitor cells, acinar cells of the salivary gland, blood cells, and malignant cells. Its expression is also observed in various immune cells, including CD14-positive and CD16-positive monocytes, IgA plasma cells, and class-switched memory B cells. AUP1 is involved in the assembly of VLDL, an essential process in lipid metabolism, and is also implicated in autophagosome formation, ER function, and retrograde protein transport. **Pathways and Functions:** AUP1 is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Lipid Droplet Formation and Organization:** AUP1 regulates the formation and organization of lipid droplets, which are critical for lipid storage and metabolism. 2. **VLDL Assembly:** AUP1 is essential for VLDL assembly, a process that involves the incorporation of triglycerides and cholesterol into the VLDL particle. 3. **Autophagosome Formation:** AUP1 is involved in the formation of autophagosomes, which are double-membraned structures that engulf and degrade cellular components. 4. **Endoplasmic Reticulum Function:** AUP1 regulates ER function, including ER stress response and retrograde protein transport. 5. **Retrograde Protein Transport:** AUP1 is involved in retrograde protein transport, which involves the transport of proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the ER. **Clinical Significance:** AUP1 has significant implications for various clinical processes, including: 1. **Immunological Disorders:** AUP1 is expressed in immune cells and is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism, which is critical for immune function. 2. **Cancer:** AUP1 is overexpressed in malignant cells and is involved in lipid droplet formation and VLDL assembly, which can contribute to cancer progression. 3. **Metabolic Disorders:** AUP1 is involved in lipid metabolism and is expressed in cells that are affected by metabolic disorders, such as obesity and diabetes. 4. **Neurological Disorders:** AUP1 is expressed in neurons and is involved in lipid metabolism, which is critical for neuronal function and survival. In conclusion, AUP1 is a critical gene involved in lipid droplet regulation, VLDL assembly, and autophagosome formation. Its expression is observed in various cellular contexts, including immune cells, malignant cells, and cells affected by metabolic disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the implications of AUP1 in human disease and to explore its potential as a therapeutic target.

Database document:

This is a preview of the gene's schema. Only a few entries are kept for 'singleCellExpressions,' 'mRNAExpressions,' and other large data arrays for visualization purposes. You can zoom in with the mouse wheel for a closer view, and the text will adjust automatically if necessary. For the full schema, download it here.
