Function |
Displays cellular triglyceride lipase activity in liver, increases the levels of intracellular fatty acids derived from the hydrolysis of newly formed triglyceride stores and plays a role in very low-density lipoprotein assembly. Displays serine esterase activity in liver. Deacetylates a variety of arylacetamide substrates, including xenobiotic compounds and procarcinogens, converting them to the primary arylamide compounds and increasing their toxicity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17936933, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19339378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22207054, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22415931, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23542347}.
