Function
Plays an important role in fat metabolism. It preferentially splits the esters of long-chain fatty acids at positions 1 and 3, producing mainly 2-monoacylglycerol and free fatty acids, and shows considerably higher activity against insoluble emulsified substrates than against soluble ones.

None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
