Abhd5 Proteins and Enzymes

Abhydrolase domain containing 5 (ABHD5) belongs to a very large protein family which contains an alpha/beta hydrolase fold. ABHD5 also contains three sequence motifs that correspond to a catalytic triad found in the esterase/lipase/thioesterase subfamily. Abhd 5 is distinct from other members of this subfamily because the putative catalytic triad contains an asparagine rather than a serine residue.

ABHD5 is a lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase with a role in phosphatidic acid ...
