Lipoprotein lipase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.1 Acting on ester bonds > 3.1.1 Carboxylic-ester hydrolases > 3.1.1.34 lipoprotein lipase
Lipoprotein lipase is the circulating lipoprotein-triacylglycerol hydrolase. It hydrolyzes triglycerides in chylomicrons and LDL, releasing diacylglycerol and fatty acid; heparin-released LPL requires added lipoprotein, and hepatic lipase LIPC also hydrolyzes phospholipids. Expected in Eukaryota and Bacteria.
