Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables monoacylglycerol lipase activity and phospholipase activity. Involved in several processes, including monoacylglycerol catabolic process; negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and phospholipid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within long-term synaptic depression; negative regulation of cell migration; and regulation of endocannabinoid signaling pathway. Located in late endosome membrane; lysosomal membrane; and mitochondrion. Part of AMPA glutamate receptor complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex ventricular layer and cortical plate. Orthologous to human ABHD6 (abhydrolase domain containing 6, acylglycerol lipase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from islets which exhibit elevated monoacylglycerol content in response to glucose. [provided by MGI curators] |
