| UniProt Protein Function: | PNPLA8: Calcium-independent phospholipase A2, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of glycerophospholipids, PtdSer and to a lower extent PtdCho. Cleaves membrane phospholipids. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; EC 3.1.1.5; Phospholipase; Motility/polarity/chemotaxisChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 7q31Cellular Component: endoplasmic reticulum membrane; intracellular; membrane; peroxisomal membrane; peroxisomeMolecular Function: calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity; phospholipase A2 activityBiological Process: arachidonic acid metabolic process; arachidonic acid secretion; cell death; fatty acid metabolic process; linoleic acid metabolic process; phosphatidylethanolamine catabolic process; prostaglandin biosynthetic processDisease: Mitochondrial Myopathy With Lactic Acidosis |
| UniProt Protein Details: | |
| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the patatin-like phospholipase domain containing protein family. Members of this family are phospholipases which catalyze the cleavage of fatty acids from membrane phospholipids. The product of this gene is a calcium-independent phospholipase. Mutations in this gene have been associated with mitochondrial myopathy with lactic acidosis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
