C45B2.6 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity and palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Duchenne muscular dystrophy; Parkinson's disease 14; dystonia 12; and neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (multiple). Is an ortholog of human PLA2G6 (phospholipase A2 group VI).
