DiseaseHyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome 4 (HPMRS4) [MIM:615716]: An autosomal recessive neurologic disorder characterized by profound developmental delay, severe mental retardation, no speech, psychomotor delay, postnatal microcephaly, and elevated serum alkaline phosphatase Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionInvolved in the lipid remodeling steps of GPI-anchor maturation. Lipid remodeling steps consist in the generation of 2 saturated fatty chains at the sn-2 position of GPI-anchors proteins. Required for phospholipase A2 activity that removes an acyl-chain at the sn-2 position of GPI-anchors during the remodeling of GPI (Probable)
MiscellaneousWhen transfected in S.cerevisiae, it can complement the absence of yeast of PER1 protein, suggesting a conserved role in lipid remodeling steps of GPI-anchor maturation.
