Monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) is a key enzyme in the hydrolysis of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol to arachidonate and glycerol. In adipocytes MAGL and hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE) hydrolyze intracellular triglyceride stores. MAGL may also complement lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in completing hydrolysis of monoglycerides resulting from degradation of lipoprotein triglycerides.
