Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Has a marked selectivity for phospholipids with short acyl chains at the sn-2 position. May share a common physiologic function with the plasma-type enzyme.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Broadly expressed in different tissues, but high in B- and T-lymphocytes. In brain, expression is restricted to amygdala and frontal cortex.
