Summary
Predicted to enable sterol ester esterase activity. Predicted to be involved in cholesterol homeostasis; intracellular triglyceride homeostasis; and lipid storage. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on lipid droplet fusion. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in lipid droplet. Orthologous to human LDAH (lipid droplet associated hydrolase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
