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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14610053}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in brain and pancreas. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14610053, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16051747}.
