FAMILY
  • serine esterase family
  • CATEGORY enzyme
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • with MGLL, and ABHD6, display distinct subcellular distributions, suggesting that they may control different pools of 2-AG (2-arachidonoylglycerol) in the nervous system
  • membrane-bound enzyme that exhibits monoacylglycerol (MAG) lipase activity
  • performs an essential function in the peripheral and central nervous systems and in the eye
  • could contribute to the metabolism of the endogenous cannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in the nervous system
  • functions as a major lysophosphatidylserine lipase in the mammalian nervous system
  • metabolic serine hydrolases ABHD16A and ABHD12 are major lipases that biosynthesize and degrade Lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS), respectively in the brain
