Metastatic uveal melanoma remains incurable at present. We previously demonstrated that loss of BAP1 gene expression in tumour cells triggers molecular mechanisms of immunosuppression in the tumour microenvironment (TME) of metastatic uveal melanoma. Adipophilin is a structural protein of lipid droplets involved in fat storage within mammalian cells, and its expression has been identified in uveal melanoma.
