LIPM
Description
The LIPM (lipase family member M) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 10.
LIPM plays a crucial role in the final stage of keratinocyte differentiation, a process where skin cells mature and become protective. This enzyme is believed to be essential for the lipid metabolism in the outermost layers of the epidermis, which contribute to the skin's barrier function.
LIPM is also known as LIPL3, bA304I5.1.
