Common Name: PNPLA3 Type: Gene
Chromosome: 22 (NC_000022.11) Locus: NG_008631.1 (PNPLA3)
HUGO Symbol: PNPLA3 Full Name: patatin like phospholipase domain containing 3
Exons: 9 Introns: 8

Description:
The PNPLA3 protein, also referred to as adiponutrin, acts as a hydrolase in the metabolism of triglycerides and retinyl esters, suggesting a role for PNPLA3 in energy usage, lipid metabolism, and retinol synthesis. It is highly abundant in the liver and in adipocytes. Genetic variance in PNPLA3 gene associated with haematological parameters (e.g., platelet count).
