Pnpla2 - patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 2

Predicted to enable retinyl-palmitate esterase activity and triglyceride lipase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acylglycerol metabolic process; negative regulation of sequestering of triglyceride; and positive regulation of triglyceride catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within cellular lipid catabolic process and lipid droplet organization. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; lipid droplet; and membrane. Orthologous to human PNPLA2 (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
