Pnpla1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable omega-hydroxyceramide transacylase activity and triacylglycerol lipase activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of skin epidermis. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; omega-hydroxyceramide biosynthetic process; and triglyceride catabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; lipid droplet; and membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 10. Orthologous to human PNPLA1 (patatin like phospholipase domain containing 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Pnpla1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
