Summary

Lysophospholipases are Enzymes that act on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids. The protein encoded by this gene hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholine to glycerophosphorylcholine and a free fatty acid. This Enzyme is present in the plasma and thought to be associated with high-density lipoprotein. A later paper contradicts the function of this gene. It demonstrates that this gene encodes a lysosomal Enzyme instead of a lysophospholipase and has both calcium-independent Phospholipase A2 and transacylase activities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
