VMP1 is important for secretion of lipoproteins.

(A and B) HepG2 cells were treated with siRNA against luciferase (Luc) or VMP1 and cultured in serum-free medium for 24 hr. Triglycerides (A) and cholesterols (B) were extracted from culture medium …

VMP1 is required for secretion and homeostasis of lipoproteins but not for formation of cartilage structures in the zebrafish head skeleton.

(A and B) HepG2 cells were treated with siRNA against luciferase (Luc) or VMP1 and cultured in 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) containing media with or without 200 μM oleic acid for 2 days. …
