'''Patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3''' (PNPLA3), also
== Function ==
Adiponutrin is a triacylglycerol [[lipase]] that mediates [[triacylglycerol]] hydrolysis in [[adipocyte]]s. The encoded protein, which appears to be membrane bound, may be involved in the balance of energy usage/storage in adipocytes.<ref name="entrez"
==Genomics==
The gene is located on the long arm of [[chromosome 22]] at band 13.31 (22q13.31). It lies on the Watson (plus) strand and is 40,750 bases in
Upstream of the gene,
