PLIN5 (OXPAT/MLDP/LSDP5) localizes to the surface of lipid droplets in oxidative tissues and its expression is induced by PPARα activation (fasting, insulin deficiency, PPARα agonists). Ectopic expression promotes fatty acid-induced triacylglycerol accumulation and long-chain fatty acid oxidation. |

PLIN5 (Mldp/LSDP5) directly binds Abhd5 (CGI-58, the protein activator of ATGL) on lipid droplet surfaces; this interaction is dynamic, increases with oleic acid treatment, and is required for efficient ATGL-mediated lipolysis at PLIN5-containing lipid droplets. |

PLIN5 interacts with both ATGL and its activator Abhd5, but individual PLIN5 molecules bind either ATGL or Abhd5 but not both simultaneously, suggesting oligomeric complexes concentrate these proteins at lipid droplet surfaces. The C-terminal 64 amino acids of PLIN5 (residues 200–463) are necessary and sufficient for differential binding of ATGL to PLIN5 (but not PLIN1). |

PLIN5 is a fatty-acid-binding protein that preferentially binds lipid droplet-derived monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and, following cAMP/PKA-mediated lipolytic stimulation, traffics them to the nucleus where MUFAs allosterically activate SIRT1 toward PGC-1α, thereby enhancing PGC-1α/PPARα signaling and oxidative metabolism. |

PLIN5 is a substrate of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA); its degradation via LAMP2A is required for lipid droplet breakdown in hepatocytes. Disruption of CMA (LAMP2A deletion) stabilizes PLIN5, obstructs LD breakdown, and causes lipid homeostasis imbalance. |

PLIN5 interacts with the acyl-CoA synthetase FATP4 (ACSVL4) on mitochondria at lipid droplet-mitochondria contact sites; the C-terminal domains of PLIN5 and FATP4 constitute a minimal interaction capable of inducing organelle contacts. Phosphorylation of PLIN5 promotes LD-to-mitochondria fatty acid transfer and β-oxidation during starvation, and an intact PLIN5 mitochondrial tethering domain is required. |

Under basal (non-phosphorylated) conditions, PLIN5 inhibits lipolysis by sequestering CGI-58 (Abhd5), preventing it from activating ATGL. Upon PKA-mediated phosphorylation of PLIN5 (e.g., during fasting, cold, or exercise), PLIN5 releases CGI-58, which then binds and activates ATGL, accelerating lipolysis. |
