Source: NCBI Gene (ID 23945)
Symbol: Mgll
Full name: monoglyceride lipase
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: Magl; Mgl
Summary: This gene encodes a monoglyceride lipase, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of monoglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol. This enzyme is also thought to hydrolyze the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
