Predicted to enable triglyceride lipase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid homeostasis and triglyceride catabolic process. Located in lipid droplet. Expressed in intestine; nerve ring; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study Chanarin-Dorfman syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 10; liver disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is an ortholog of human PNPLA2 (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 2) and PNPLA3 (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
