Abstract

Lipid droplets are found in all eukaryotes and are considered as dynamic cell organelles. In addition to acting as neutral lipid stores, they are also involved in various biological processes such as membrane formation, cell signaling and hormone synthesis. Many aspects of lipid droplet biogenesis and function are not yet fully understood. The basic structure of a lipid droplet consists of a neutral lipid core of triacylglycerols and cholesterol esters surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids, free cholesterol and proteins.
