Lipase family member J (LIPJ)

Lipase family member J (LIPJ) is a protein-coding enzyme predicted to catalyze hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipid molecules. It is part of the broader lipase family, which are hydrolases involved in cellular lipid catabolism and processing. LIPJ is active at intracellular membrane-bounded organelles and likely participates in metabolic pathways, such as keratinization and nervous system development, but its specific physiological function is not fully elucidated. Disease associations have been reported with rare syndromes, such as Cerebrooculofacioskeletal Syndrome 4 and Wolman Disease. No direct drug interventions or established biomarker uses are documented for LIPJ at present.
