Fat-Inducing Transmembrane protein 2 (Fit2/Fitm2) is an evolutionarily conserved transmembrane protein. Located on the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum(ER), Fit2 has been shown to play an important role [1] in the packaging of triglycerides into lipid droplets(LD) within adipocytes (Fig.1). Pan...
