Alias
LPL
Species
Pseudomonas species
Bio-activity
>10 U/mg lyophilizate
Appearance
Brownish lyophilizate
Molecular Mass
47 kD
pH Stability
6.0-10.0
Specificity
Lipoprotein Lipase has both lipolytic and sterol ester hydrolytic activities. It hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, lipoproteins and diacylglycerols. With human plasma as substrate triglycerides are hydrolyzed more rapidly than cholesterol esters. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the enzymatic activity are somewhat different between the hydrolysis of triglyceride and of cholesterol ester depending on the different states of these substrates in the plasma or the transfer of the reaction products at the interface of substrates.
Optimum pH
7.5
Thermal stability
Up to +50°C
Stability
At +2 to +8°C within specification range for 12 months. Store dry.
Applications
Use Lipoprotein lipase in diagnostic tests for the determination of triglycerides together with Glycerol Kinase and Glycerol-3-phosphate Dehydrogenase.
Synonyms
Lipoprotein lipase; LPL; Clearing factor lipase; Diacylglycerol lipase; Diglyceride lipase
