| Function | Probable thioesterase removing fatty acyl groups from various substrates such as S-palmitoyl-CoA. Because of structural constraints, may be unable to remove palmitate from peptides or proteins (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Lysosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719403}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in adult head and crop. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18719403}. |
| Top Pathways | Lysosome, Fatty acid elongation, Fatty acid metabolism |
