Summary
DAGLB (diacylglycerol lipase beta, HGNC:28923) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7p22.1, encoding Diacylglycerol lipase-beta (Q8NCG7). Lipase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of arachidonic acid (AA)-esterified diacylglycerols (DAGs) to produce the principal endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) which can be further cleaved by downstream enzymes to release arachidonic acid (AA) for cyclooxygenase (COX)-me….
Enables lipase activity. Involved in arachidonate metabolic process. Located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 3)
- This gene has been functionally characterized as a diacylglycerol-lipase (DAGL), referred to as DAGL beta. These enzymes may have a role in the biosynthesis of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidnoyl glycerol (2-AG). (PMID:14610053)
- The purified DAGLbeta catalytic domain assay described here provides the basis for a relatively clean and convenient assay with the potential to be adapted for high-throughput drug discovery efforts. (PMID:27115711)
- we identified a novel HDL-C-associated variant which explained nearly half of the expression variance of DAGLB. (PMID:29476167)

Diacylglycerol lipase-beta — Q8NCG7 (reviewed: Q8NCG7)

All UniProt accessions (4): C9JA85, E7ET49, Q8NCG7, F8WBN0

Function. Lipase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of arachidonic acid (AA)-esterified diacylglycerols (DAGs) to produce the principal endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) which can be further cleaved by downstream enzymes to release arachidonic acid (AA) for cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated eicosanoid production. Preferentially hydrolyzes DAGs at the sn-1 position in a calcium-dependent manner and has negligible activity against other lipids including monoacylglycerols and phospholipids. Plays a key role in the regulation of 2-AG and AA pools utilized by COX1/2 to generate lipid mediators of macrophage and microglia inflammatory responses. Also functions as a polyunsaturated fatty acids-specific triacylglycerol lipase in macrophages. Plays an important role to support the metabolic and signaling demands of macrophages.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by the 1,2,3-triazole urea covalent inhibitors KT109 and KT172. Inhibited by p-hydroxy-mercuri-benzoate and HgCl(2), but not by PMSF. Also inhibited by RHC80267, a drug that blocks 2-AG formation.
Similarity. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 93 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
