Tissue Specificity | Most abundantly expressed in brain, lung, kidney and mammary gland, a moderate expression seen in placenta and expressed at low levels in the liver and heart. |
Post Translational Modifications | Glycosylation is not essential for catalytic activity. |
Function | Catalyzes the deacylation of cholesteryl ester core lipids of endocytosed low density lipoproteins to generate free fatty acids and cholesterol. Hydrolyzes triglycerides (1,2,3-triacylglycerol) and diglycerides (such as 1,2-diacylglycerol and 1,3-diacylglycerol) with preference for the acyl moieties at the sn-1 or sn-3 positions. |
