1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine acylhydrolase activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: 1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine + H2O = sn-glycerol-phosphoserine + a carboxylate. [EC:3.1.1.32]

1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine acylhydrolase activity is a type of hydrolase that specifically cleaves the ester bond between the fatty acid at the sn-1 position of 1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine, releasing a free fatty acid and lysophosphatidylserine. This enzyme plays a crucial role in the metabolism of phospholipids, particularly in the breakdown of lysophosphatidylserine, a product of phospholipase A2 activity. It is involved in the recycling of fatty acids and the generation of lysophospholipids, which serve as signaling molecules and precursors for the synthesis of other phospholipids. 1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine acylhydrolase activity is also implicated in the regulation of membrane fluidity and cellular signaling pathways. Its specific action on 1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine distinguishes it from other acylhydrolases that act on different phospholipid substrates.'
