Gene information for MGLL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11343
Official gene symbolMGLL
Full namemonoglyceride lipase
Aliases,HU-K5,HUK5,MAGL,MGL,
Gene summaryMonoglyceride lipase (MGLL; EC 3.1.1.23) functions together with hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE; MIM 151750) to hydrolyze intracellular triglyceride stores in adipocytes and other cells to fatty acids and glycerol. MGLL may also complement lipoprotein lipase (LPL; MIM 238600) in completing hydrolysis of monoglycerides resulting from degradation of lipoprotein triglycerides (Karlsson et al., 2001 [PubMed 11470505]).[supplied by OMIM]
