This domain is found in GPI inositol-deacylase PGAP1 and related proteins. PGAP1 is an endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein with a catalytic serine containing motif that is conserved in a number of lipases. PGAP1 functions as a GPI inositol-deacylase; this deacylation is important for the efficient transport of GPI-anchored proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi body [1]. This entry also includes Tgl2, a mitochondria protein that serves as a triacylglycerol lipase in budding yeasts [2]. The domain represented by this entry is found toward the N terminus and it is a lipase domain with a typical alpha/beta/alpha hydrolase architecture [3].
