Function | Capable of hydrolyzing lactones and a number of aromatic carboxylic acid esters. Has antioxidant activity. Is not associated with high density lipoprotein. Prevents LDL lipid peroxidation, reverses the oxidation of mildly oxidized LDL, and inhibits the ability of MM-LDL to induce monocyte chemotaxis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11579088, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15772423}. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11579088}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11579088}. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with highest expression in liver, lung, placenta, testis and heart. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11579088}. |
