Background
This gene encodes a member of the paraoxonase gene family, which includes three known members located adjacent to each other on the long arm of chromosome 7. The encoded protein is ubiquitously expressed in human tissues, membrane-bound, and may act as a cellular antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Hydrolytic activity against acylhomoserine lactones, important bacterial quorum-sensing mediators, suggests the encoded protein may also play a role in defense responses to pathogenic bacteria. Mutations in this gene may be associated with vascular disease and a number of quantitative phenotypes related to diabetes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:A phenyl acetate + H(2)O = a phenol + acetate.,catalytic activity:An aryl dialkyl phosphate + H(2)O = dialkyl phosphate + an aryl alcohol.,function:Hydrolyzes the toxic metabolites of a variety of organophosphorus insecticides. Capable of hydrolyzing a broad spectrum of organophosphate substrates and a number of aromatic carboxylic acid esters (By similarity). Has antioxidant activity. Is not associated with high density lipoprotein. Prevents LDL lipid peroxidation, reverses the oxidation of mildly oxidized LDL, and inhibits the ability of MM-LDL to induce monocyte chemotaxis.,online information:The Singapore human mutation and polymorphism database,PTM:Glycosylated.,PTM:The signal sequence is not cleaved.,similarity:Belongs to the paraoxonase family.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed with highest expression in liver, lung, placenta, testis and heart.,
