Disease relevance of Mgll

  • Activities of phospholipase A, phospholipase C, and di- and monoglyceride lipase, assayed with optimal concentrations of Ca2+ and lysophospholipase, did not significantly change by 60 min of ischemia, whereas acylation enzymes of lysophospholipid decreased in activity to an extent of 70% of control at 15 min after the ischemic treatment [1].
 

High impact information on Mgll

  • The results suggest that hydrolysis by means of MGL is a primary mechanism for 2-AG inactivation in intact neurons [2].
  • Immunohistochemical studies in the hippocampus showed that MGL distribution has striking laminar specificity, suggesting a presynaptic localization of the enzyme [2].
  • Here we tested the hypothesis that monoglyceride lipase (MGL), a serine hydrolase that converts monoglycerides to fatty acid and glycerol, participates in 2-AG inactivation [2].
  • We cloned MGL by homology from a rat brain cDNA library [2].
  • Adenovirus-mediated transfer of MGL cDNA into rat cortical neurons increased MGL expression and attenuated N-methyl-D-aspartate/carbachol-induced 2-AG accumulation in these cells [2].
 

Biological context of Mgll

  • A comparison model of MGL was constructed to get a view on the cysteine residues located near the binding site [3].
  • Additionally, compound 7 inhibited MGL-like enzymatic activity with an IC50 value of 31 microM [4].
