Required for the utilization of the prevalent host lipid lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC). Functions as a lipase that cleaves exogenous LPC and generates free fatty acids, which are then transported into the cell by fatty acid transporters such as FadL, and used in various metabolic pathways. Surface-exposed. Induced in the presence of LPC. Mutant cannot grow with LPC as the sole carbon source. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
