Predicted to enable triacylglycerol lipase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid metabolic process. Is expressed in several structures, including anal pad primordium; anlage in statu nascendi; dorsal ectoderm anlage; embryonic anal pad; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wolman disease; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 8; and cholesterol ester storage disease. Orthologous to several human genes including LIPA (lipase A, lysosomal acid type); LIPF (lipase F, gastric type); and LIPJ (lipase family member J).
