Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionlipl-4 encodes a triglyceride lipase; by homology, LIPL-4 is predicted to function in lipid hydrolysis; genetic studies indicate that lipl-4 functions as part of an endocrine signaling pathway that coordinates reproductive status, fat metabolism, and longevity; in response to reduced insulin signaling or germline removal (glp-1 mutant animals), lipl-4 expression is induced in the intestine, in a DAF-16-dependent manner; overexpression of lipl-4 can extend lifespan, in a manner dependent upon autophagy genes, such as bec-1, vps-34, and lgg-1.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00032310

Automated_descriptionEnables triglyceride lipase activity. Involved in cellular lipid metabolic process; determination of adult lifespan; and positive regulation of macroautophagy. Located in lysosome. Expressed in intestine and seam cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wolman disease; autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 8; and cholesterol ester storage disease. Is an ortholog of several human genes including LIPA (lipase A, lysosomal acid type); LIPF (lipase F, gastric type); and LIPJ (lipase family member J).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (28)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
