Pla2g6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including ATP-dependent protein binding activity; calcium-independent phospholipase A2 activity; and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including cardiolipin acyl-chain remodeling; positive regulation of metabolic process; and positive regulation of secretion. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including extracellular space; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nuclear speck. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Biomarker of pleurisy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia 12; neuroaxonal dystrophy; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human PLA2G6 (phospholipase A2 group VI).

Protein Domains
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 rat Pla2g6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
