General annotation (Comments)

Function

Hydrolyzes 2-acetyl monoalkylglycerol ether, the penultimate precursor of the pathway for de novo synthesis of platelet-activating factor. May be responsible for cholesterol ester hydrolysis in macrophages, thereby contributing to the development of atherosclerosis. Also involved in organ detoxification by hydrolyzing exogenous organophosphorus compounds. May contribute to cancer pathogenesis by promoting tumor cell migration. Ref.5

Subcellular location

Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Probable. Microsome By similarity Ref.4.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in monocyte-derived macrophages. Up-regulated in invasive melanoma and breast carcinoma cell lines. Ref.4 Ref.6

Post-translational modification

N-glycosylated. Ref.4 Ref.7

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the 'GDXG' lipolytic enzyme family.
