General description

Lipases are hydrolytic enzymes which break down triacylglycerides into free fatty acids and glycerols.

Application

This enzyme is useful for enzymatic determination of triglyceride in serum when coupled with L-α- glycerophosphate oxidase (G3O-301, G3O-311, G3O-321) and glycerol kinase (GYK-301, GYK-311). Usually, the reaction can be completed in 5 minutes at 37oC by using 2.5 oC~3.0 units of the enzyme per test (3.0ml) at pH around 7.0. Lipase from Pseudomonas sp. has been used in a study to assess enzymatic synthesis of biodiesel from palm oil assisted by microwave irradiation.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipase from Pseudomonas was shown to inhibit monocytes chemotaxis in human peripheral blood.
Tri-, di-, and monoglycerides are hydrolyzed (in decreasing order of rate).

Prebeta1-high density lipoprotein (prebeta1-HDL), the initial acceptor of cell-derived cholesterol, can be generated from HDL(2) by hepatic lipase. Because bezafibrate elevates lipase activity, it may increase prebeta1-HDL at the expense of HDL(2). To answer this question, we determined the apolipoprotein
