cofactor:Calcium.,enzyme regulation:Inhibited by p-hydroxy-mercuri-benzoate and HgCl(2), but not to PMSF. Also inhibited by RHC80267, a drug that blocks 2-AG formation.,function:Catalyzes the hydrolysis of diacylglycerol (DAG) to 2-arachidonoyl-glycerol (2-AG), the most abundant endocannabinoid in tissues. Required for axonal growth during development and for retrograde synaptic signaling at mature synapses.,similarity:Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in brain and pancreas.,
Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic density membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Early endosome membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cell projection, dendritic spine membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cycles between the cell surface and an intracellular endosomal compartment. Internalized by early endosomes via a clathrin-independent pathway before transport back to the postsynaptic membrane surface in a PKC-dependent manner. .
Highly expressed in brain and pancreas.
