2-acylglycerol + H2O -> glycerol + fatty acid

Rat monoacylglycerol lipase (MGLL) catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2-acylglycerol to yield glycerol + fatty acid (Tornqvist and Belfrage 1976; Fredrikson et al. 1986). Localization of the enzyme to lipid particles is plausible, given its low solubility and its involvement in acylglycerol metabolism, but this localization has not been directly experimentally verified. The human reaction is inferred from the well-studied rat one.

鼠单酰甘油酯脂肪酶（MGLL）催化2-酰甘油的水解反应，生成甘油与脂肪酸（Tornqvist 和 Belfrage，1976；Fredrikson 等，1986）。鉴于该酶的低溶解性和其在酰甘油代谢中的作用，其定位于脂质颗粒中似乎是合理的，但这一定位尚未通过直接实验得到验证。人类反应的推断基于对鼠类反应的深入研究。
