abhd-5.2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable carboxylic ester hydrolase activity and lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid homeostasis and phosphatidic acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in lipid droplet and mitochondrion. Expressed in hypodermis. Used to study Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1; and colon adenocarcinoma. Is an ortholog of human ABHD4 (abhydrolase domain containing 4, N-acyl phospholipase B) and ABHD5 (abhydrolase domain containing 5, lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase).
