MGLL is membrane-associated member of the serine hydrolase superfamily. MGLL functions together with hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE) to hydrolyze intracellular triglyceride stores in adipocytes and other cells to fatty acids and glycerol. MGLL may also complement lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in completing hydrolysis of monoglycerides resulting from degradation of lipoprotein triglycerides. It is most abundantly expressed in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-313 from human MGLL, fused to His-Tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
