Summary

PNPLA4 (patatin like domain 4, phospholipase and triacylglycerol lipase , HGNC:24887) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.31, encoding Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 4 (P41247). Has abundant triacylglycerol lipase activity.

This gene encodes a member of the patatin-like family of phospholipases. The encoded enzyme has both triacylglycerol lipase and transacylase activities and may be involved in adipocyte triglyceride homeostasis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome Y.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 7)

  • iPLA2epsilon (adiponutrin), iPLA2zeta (TTS-2.2), and iPLA2eta (GS2) are three novel TAG lipases/acylglycerol transacylases that likely participate in TAG hydrolysis and the acyl-CoA independent transacylation of acylglycerols (PMID:15364929)
  • The GS2 gene (PNPLA4) encodes a keratinocyte retinyl ester hydrolase. The protein also catalyzes fatty acyl CoA-dependent and -independent retinol esterification, using triolein as substrate and generates diacylglyceride and free fatty acid. (PMID:15955102)
  • we report the identity of an inhibitor, TIP47, which prevents retinylester hydrolysis catalyzed by GS2 lipase and hormone-sensitive lipase (PMID:16741517)
  • GS2 promotes RE accumulation and may do so either as a catalyst or as a regulatory protein that enhances retinylesters formation catalyzed by other acyl transferases. (PMID:19181555)
  • No association between genetic variants in PNPLA4 genes and childhood and adolescent obesity (PMID:19390624)
  • These results strongly suggest that PNPLA9, -6 and -4 play a key role in GPL turnover and homeostasis in human cells. A hypothetical model suggesting how these enzymes could recognize the relative concentration of the different GPLs is proposed (PMID:27317427)
  • Association of copy number variation in X chromosome-linked PNPLA4 with heterotaxy and congenital heart disease. (PMID:38973237)

Alternative names: Calcium-independent phospholipase A2-eta, Protein GS2

All UniProt accessions (2): P41247, C9IZF6

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Has abundant triacylglycerol lipase activity. Transfers fatty acid from triglyceride to retinol, hydrolyzes retinylesters, and generates 1,3-diacylglycerol from triglycerides. Additionally possesses acylglycerol transacylase and phospholipase A2 activities.

Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.

Tissue specificity. Expressed in all tissues examined, including heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver, muscle, kidney, pancreas and spleen.

Disease relevance. Defects in PNPLA4 may play a role in mitochondrial disorders characterized by complex IV deficiency.

Activity regulation. The triglyceride lipase activity is inhibited by BEL ((E)-6-(bromomethylene)-3-(1-naphthalenyl)-2H-tetrahydropyran-2-one), a suicide substrate inhibitor.
