Lysophospholipases are enzymes that act on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids. There are alternatively spliced transcript variants described for this gene but the full length nature is not known yet. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Forensic Context
A study in mice demonstrated that the protein lysophospholipase 2 (Lypla2) was identified as a potential target of the LYPLA2 in primary cardiomyocytes, where its protein level was downregulated following transfection with a miR-483-3p mimic, though this effect was not statistically significant [Xue et al. DOI:10.1161/JAHA.122.026160].
