Neuropathy target esterase (PNPLA6)

Phospholipase B that deacylates intracellular phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), generating glycerophosphocholine (GroPtdCho). This deacylation occurs at both sn-2 and sn-1 positions of PtdCho.

Its particular chemical modification by certain organophosphorus (OP) compounds leads to distal axonopathy. .
