Serine hydrolase that hydrolyzes arachidonic acid-esterified diacylglycerols (DAGs) to produce the principal endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) (PubMed:14610053, PubMed:23502535, PubMed:26668358). Preferentially hydrolyzes sn-1 fatty acids from diacylglycerols (DAG) that contain arachidonic acid (AA) esterified at the sn-2 position to biosynthesize 2-AG (PubMed:14610053, PubMed:23502535, PubMed:26668358). Has negligible activity against other lipids including monoacylglycerols and phospholipids (PubMed:14610053). Plays a key role in regulating 2-AG signaling in the central nervous system (CNS). Regulates 2-AG involved in retrograde suppression at central synapses. Supports axonal growth during development and adult neurogenesis. Plays a role for eCB signaling in the physiological regulation of anxiety and depressive behaviors. Regulates also neuroinflammatory responses in the brain, in particular, LPS-induced microglial activation (By similarity).
Spinocerebellar ataxia 20
SCA20
Spinocerebellar ataxia is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of cerebellar disorders. Patients show progressive incoordination of gait and often poor coordination of hands, speech and eye movements, due to degeneration of the cerebellum with variable involvement of the brainstem and spinal cord. SCA20 is an autosomal dominant, adult-onset form characterized by dysarthria due to spasmodic dysphonia followed by slowly progressive ataxia.
None
The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. A copy number variation consisting of a 260-kb duplication at chromosome 11q12.2-12.3 is responsible for SCA20. The critical gene within the duplicated segment may be DAGLA.
Neuroocular syndrome 2, paroxysmal type
NOC2
A form of neuroocular syndrome, a group of disorders characterized by developmental delay, impaired intellectual development and ocular anomalies as primary findings. NOC2 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by eye deviation or nystagmus with abnormal head posturing apparent from birth or early infancy. Affected individuals also have hypotonia, mild developmental delay, dysarthria, and gait ataxia. Most patients have mildly impaired intellectual development.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Phosphorylated at Ser-782 and Ser-808 by CAMK2A; phosphorylation by CAMK2A inhibits diacylglycerol lipase activity.
Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
Highly expressed in brain and pancreas.
