ABHD14B
Function
Acts as an atypical protein-lysine deacetylase in vitro (PubMed:31478652). Catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues using CoA as substrate, generating acetyl-CoA and the free amine of protein-lysine residues (PubMed:31478652). Additional experiments are however required to confirm the protein-lysine deacetylase activity in vivo (Probable). Has hydrolase activity towards various surrogate p-nitrophenyl (pNp) substrates, such as pNp-butyrate, pNp-acetate and pNp-octanoate in vitro, with a strong preference for pNp-acetate (PubMed:14672934, PubMed:31478652). May activate transcription (PubMed:14672934).
Sequence Similarities
