Description

monoglyceride lipase

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a monoglyceride lipase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of monoglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This enzyme is also thought to hydrolyze the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
