    Summary
    Enables lipid phosphatase activity and lipid transporter activity. Involved in gamete generation. Located in apical part of cell and plasma membrane. Is expressed in adult head; epidermis; germ layer derivative; and neuroblasts. Orthologous to several human genes including PLPP1 (phospholipid phosphatase 1) and PLPP3 (phospholipid phosphatase 3).

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. germ cell survival and directionality of migration are controlled by two lipid phosphate phosphatases (LPP), wunen (wun) and wunen-2 (wun2). wun wun2 double mutant analysis reveals that the two genes act redundantly in primordial germ cells.
