| Function |
Has a marked selectivity for phospholipids with short acyl chains at the sn-2 position. May share a common physiologic function with the plasma-type enzyme.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Broadly expressed in different tissues, but high in B- and T-lymphocytes. In brain, expression is restricted to amygdala and frontal cortex.
