Summary: Enables serine hydrolase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; adult heart; ovary; seminal vesicle; and sperm storage organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including cardiovascular system disease (multiple); familial hyperlipidemia (multiple); hypotrichosis 7; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including LIPC (lipase C, hepatic type); LIPG (lipase G, endothelial type); and LIPH (lipase H). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
