Type: | Family | Name: | Arylacetamide deacetylase |
Description: | The lipase arylacetamide deacetylase is involved in the utilisation of triacylglycerol (TAG) for the assembly of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in the secretory apparatus of the hepatocyte, as the process is mobilized by lipolysis of the cytosolic TAG pool, followed by re-esterification []. The enzyme competes with cytosolic arylamine N-acetyltransferase, which catalyses one of the initial biotransformation pathways for arylamine and heterocyclic amine carcinogens in many tissues in many species []. | Short Name: | Arylacetamide_deacetylase |
