Summary: Enables 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase activity. Involved in lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); glomerulonephritis (multiple); hemolytic-uremic syndrome; proteinuria (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human PLA2G7 (phospholipase A2 group VII) and PAFAH2 (platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
