Phospholipase B (lysophospholipase) involved in lipid metabolism; required for efficient acyl chain remodeling of newly synthesized phosphatidylethanolamine-derived phosphatidylcholine; required for deacylation of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine but not phosphatidylinositol; PLB1 has a paralog, PLB3, that arose from the whole genome duplication [Source:SGD;Acc:S000004610]
Chromosome XIII: 280,590-282,584 reverse strand.
R64-1-1:BK006946.2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 679 orthologues and 3 paralogues.
