Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables acylglycerol lipase activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled glutamate receptor signaling pathway; arachidonic acid metabolic process; and retrograde trans-synaptic signaling by endocannabinoid. Acts upstream of or within cannabinoid biosynthetic process; monoacylglycerol biosynthetic process; and neuroblast proliferation. Located in dendritic spine membrane and varicosity. Is active in postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain and olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung cancer. Orthologous to human DAGLA (diacylglycerol lipase alpha).
