Pnpla6 - patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 6

Enables lysophospholipase activity. Acts upstream of or within angiogenesis and animal organ morphogenesis. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cranial nerve; epithelium; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Boucher-Neuhauser syndrome; Laurence-Moon syndrome; Oliver-McFarlane syndrome; and hereditary spastic paraplegia 39. Orthologous to human PNPLA6 (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
