PNPLA8( Human )
patatin like phospholipase domain containing 8
Alias
IPLA2-2|IPLA2G|MMLA|PNPLA-gamma|iPLA2gamma
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.
