| description | This entry represents a group of abhydrolase domain-containing proteins, including mammalian ABHD1/2/3/15 and budding yeast Eht1, Eeb1 and YMR210W.Human ABHD3is a phospholipase that may play a role in phospholipids remodeling. It may selectively cleave myristate (C14)-containing phosphatidylcholines through its predominant phospholipase 1 activity, cleaving preferentially acyl groups in sn1 position []. Mouse ABHD2 may play a role in smooth muscle cells migration []. Yeast Eht1 and its paralogue, Eeb1, are Acyl-coenzymeA:ethanol O-acyltransferases involved in medium-chain fatty acid ethyl ester biosynthesis during fermentation []. YMR210W does not seem to play an important role in medium-chain fatty acid ethyl ester formation []. This entry also includes bacterial putative esterases, such as yheT from E. coli. |
