Gene information for PNPLA8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID50640
Official gene symbolPNPLA8
Full namepatatin-like phospholipase domain containing 8
Aliases,IPLA2(GAMMA),IPLA2-2,IPLA2G,
Gene summaryPhospholipase A2 catalyzes cleavage of fatty acids from phospholipids, thereby regulating membrane physical properties and the release of lipid second messengers and growth factors. Phospholipase A2 activity also modulates cellular growth programs, inflammation, and ion channel function (Mancuso et al., 2000 [PubMed 10744668]).[supplied by OMIM]
