Gene: PNPLA3
Alternate names for this Gene: ADPN|C22orf20|iPLA(2)epsilon
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 22
Location in Chromosome : 22q13.31
Description of this Gene: patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
