Enzyme Commission Number
EC 3.1.1.34
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products. Well-defined strains can be also provided for our clients to manufacture fermented products in a cost-effective way.
Features
Ready-to-use product, accelerating research progress, enhancing application performance.
Synonyms
clearing factor lipase; diacylglycerol lipase; postheparin esterase; diglyceride lipase; postheparin lipase; diacylglycerol hydrolase; lipemia-clearing factor; hepatic triacylglycerol lipase; LIPC (gene name); LPL (gene name); triacylglycero-protein acylhydrolase
Function
Hydrolyses triacylglycerols and diacylglycerol in chylomicrons and low-density lipoprotein particles. Human protein purified from post-heparin plasma (LPL) shows no activity against triglyceride in the absence of added lipoprotein. The principal reaction sequence of that enzyme is triglyceride → 1,2-diglyceride → 2-monoglyceride. The hepatic enzyme (LIPC) also hydrolyses triglycerides and phospholipids present in circulating plasma lipoproteins.
Applications
Diagnostic Industry
Storage
Should be stored in a cool place avoiding high temperature.

approx. 134 kDa
Production Methods
Fermentation
Activity
GradeⅢ 20U/mg-solid or more (containing approx. 80% of stabilizers)
Reaction
triacylglycerol + H2O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate

Description
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) (EC 3.1.1.34) is a member of the lipase gene family, which includes pancreatic lipase, hepatic lipase, and endothelial lipase. It is a water soluble enzyme that hydrolyzes triglycerides in lipoproteins, such as those found in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), into two free fatty acids and one monoacylglycerol molecule. It is also involved in promoting the cellular uptake of chylomicron remnants, cholesterol-rich lipoproteins, and free fatty acids. LPL requires ApoC-II as a cofactor.
