Lipase a, lysosomal acid type
Lipase A, lysosomal acid type is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LIPA gene.Function
This gene encodes lipase A, the lysosomal acid lipase. This enzyme functions in the lysosome to catalyze the hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. Mutations in this gene can result in Wolman disease and cholesteryl ester storage disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. .
