Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 8228
Gene name Patatin like domain 4, phospholipase and triacylglycerol lipase
Gene symbol PNPLA4
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DXS1283EGS2iPLA2eta
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xp22.31
Summary This gene encodes a member of the patatin-like family of phospholipases. The encoded enzyme has both triacylglycerol lipase and transacylase activities and may be involved in adipocyte triglyceride homeostasis. Alternate splicing results in multiple trans

Protein name Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 4 (EC 3.1.1.3) (Calcium-independent phospholipase A2-eta) (iPLA2-eta) (EC 3.1.1.4) (Protein GS2)
Protein function Has abundant triacylglycerol lipase activity (PubMed:15364929, PubMed:16150821, PubMed:17603008). Transfers fatty acid from triglyceride to retinol, hydrolyzes retinylesters, and generates 1,3-diacylglycerol from triglycerides (PubMed:17603008).
