Lipn - lipase, family member N

Predicted to enable hydrolase activity, acting on ester bonds. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; exocrine gland; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 8. Orthologous to human LIPN (lipase family member N). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
