| Type: | Family | Name: | Triacylglycerol lipase |
| Description: | This family of proteins is characterised by an N-terminal domain that is found adjacent to the patatin/phospholipase A2-related domain (see ). The family of proteins, which contain these two domains, including Tgl3/4/5 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Tgl3 is a bifunctional triacylglycerol lipase and lysophospholipid acyltransferase []. Tgl4/5 are multifunctional lipase/hydrolase/phospholipases [, ]. They are generally involved in triacylglycerol mobilisation and localized to lipid particles [, ].This entry also includes plant sugar-dependent 1 (SDP1) protein, which is a triacylglycerol lipase that initiates storage oil breakdown in germinating Arabidopsis seeds [, ]. | Short Name: | Triacylglycerol_lipase |
