Comment typeDescription
CofactorName=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000250};
FunctionCatalyzes 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 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
SimilarityBelongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationCell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in corticostriatal and hippocampal slices. Highly expressed in striatal neurons (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16051747}.
