Function
Involved in the hydrolysis of exogenous host lipids during chronic infection. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of both monoacylglycerols (MAG) and diacylglycerols (DAG). It hydrolyzes 2-MAG, 1-3-MAG and MAG with short, medium and long chain fatty acids such as 1-monobutyroyl-rac-glycerol (MC4), 1-mono-octanoyl-rac-glycerol (MC8), 1-monodecanoyl-rac-glycerol (MC10), 1-monolauroyl-rac-glycerol (MC12), 1-monomyristoyl-rac-glycerol (MC14) and 1-mono-oleyl-rac-glycerol (MC18:1) (PubMed:17784850). Also able to hydrolyze DAG with short (DiC6) and medium (DiC10) fatty acid chains, but not whith a longest chain fatty acids (PubMed:17784850). Can also hydrolyze vinyl laurate (VC12), vinyl butyrate (VC4) and vinyl propionate (VC3) (PubMed:17784850).
