LYPLA2 (human), recombinant protein

Protein function: Acts as a acyl-protein thioesterase hydrolyzing fatty acids from S-acylated cysteine residues in proteins such as trimeric G alpha proteins, GAP43, ZDHHC6 or HRAS (PubMed:21152083, PubMed:28826475). Deacylates GAP43 (PubMed:21152083). Mediates depalmitoylation of ZDHHC6 (PubMed:28826475). Has lysophospholipase activity (PubMed:25301951). Hydrolyzes prostaglandin glycerol esters (PG-Gs) in the following order prostaglandin D2-glycerol ester (PGD2-G) > prostaglandin E2 glycerol ester (PGE2-G) > prostaglandin F2-alpha-glycerol ester (PGF2-alpha-G) (PubMed:25301951). Hydrolyzes 1-arachidonoylglycerol but not 2- arachidonoylglycerol or arachidonoylethanolamide (PubMed:25301951). [The UniProt Consortium]
