Enables lysophospholipase activity and phospholipase A2 activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerophospholipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in early endosome membrane and mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including a
limentary system; eye; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to several human genes including PLA2G4B (phospholipase A2 group IVB). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
This locus represents naturally-occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring Jmjd7 (jumonji domain containing 7) and Pla2g4b (phospholipase A2, group IVB (cytosolic)) genes on chromosome 2. The readthrough transcript is a candidate for nonsense-me
