Lipn

Predicted to enable sterol ester esterase activity and triacylglycerol lipase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; exocrine gland; gonad; hemolymphoid system gland; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 8. Orthologous to human LIPN (lipase family member N). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Lipn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
