Acyl-protein thioesterase 2

Definition:

Acts as a acyl-protein thioesterase hydrolyzing fatty acids from S-acylated cysteine residues in proteins such as trimeric G alpha proteins, GAP43, ZDHHC6 or HRAS. Deacylates GAP43. Mediates depalmitoylation of ZDHHC6. Has lysophospholipase activity. Hydrolyzes prostaglandin glycerol esters (PG-Gs) in the following order prostaglandin D2-glycerol ester (PGD2-G) > prostaglandin E2 glycerol ester (PGE2-G) > prostaglandin F2-alpha-glycerol ester (PGF2-alpha-G). Hydrolyzes 1-arachidonoylglycerol but not 2-arachidonoylglycerol or arachidonoylethanolamide.
