Protein attributes

Sequence length	392 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Has a marked selectivity for phospholipids with short acyl chains at the sn-2 position. May share a common physiologic function with the plasma-type enzyme.
Catalytic activity	1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + H2O = 1-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine + acetate.
Enzyme regulation	Inhibited by phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, 3,4,dichloroisocoumarin, diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP) and diethyl p-nitrophenyl phosphate (DENP).
Subunit structure	Monomer.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm.
Tissue specificity	Broadly expressed in different tissues, but high in B- and T-lymphocytes. In brain, expression is restricted to amygdala and frontal cortex.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the serine esterase family.
Mass spectrometry	Molecular mass is 44162 Da from positions 1 - 392. Determined by ESI. Ref.2
