PNPLA3, patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3

PNPLA3, patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3

• The protein encoded by this gene is a triacylglycerol lipase that mediates triacylglycerol hydrolysis in adipocytes. The encoded protein, which appears to be membrane bound, may be involved in the balance of energy usage/storage in adipocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
