Diacylglycerol lipase
Diacylglycerol lipase, also known as DAG lipase, DAGL or DGL, is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol.[1] It catalyzes the hydrolysis of diacylglycerol, releasing a free fatty acid and monoacylglycerol.

Two separate genes encoding DGL enzymes have been cloned, termed DGLα (DAGLA) and DGLβ (DAGLB), that share 33% sequence identity.
Inhibitors
The enzyme has been described to be inhibited selectively by two agents, RHC80267 and tetrahydrolipstatin.
gollark: Which is bad so that's actually good.
gollark: No, it's perfect and without flaw.
gollark: I used ctypes to avoid the MAX_YEAR thing once.
gollark: I did. Obviously I'm already aware of such technology.
gollark: Before making assertions about group theory, I always make sure to check if I'm dreaming, just in case.
