UniProt Comments
Hydrolyzes the sn-1 acylester bond of phospholipids. Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidic acid can be used as substrates. Weak activity with lysophosphatidylcholine and no activity with tripalmitoylglycerol and cholesteryl oleate. Seems to have a preference for unsaturated fatty acids at the sn-1 position.
