Androgen-dependent TFPI-regulating protein
Definition:
Hydrolyzes bioactive fatty-acid esters of hydroxy-fatty acids (FAHFAs), but not other major classes of lipids. Show a preference for FAHFAs with branching distal from the carboxylate head group of the lipids. Regulates the expression and the cell-associated anticoagulant activity of the inhibitor TFPI in endothelial cells (in vitro).
