Application

2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate is a thioester analog of triacylglycerol and has been used:
  • in lipase inhibition assay during in vitro screening of medicinal plants as antidiabetics with glucosidase and lipase inhibitory activities
  • in colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity
  • to analyze positional specificity of LipG (lipase-encoding gene) toward triacylglycerol by a simple continuous spectrophotometric method

The present study was carried out with a view of determining ricin lipolytic activity on neutral lipids in emulsion and in a membrane-like model. Using 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (BAL-TC(4)) as substrate, the lipolytic activity of ricin was found to be proportional

The present work describes a colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity based on the reaction between 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitro benzoic acid) (DTNB) and the hydrolysis product of 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (DMPTB). Reaction mixtures containing DTNB, DMPTB, and lipase were prepared in microplate wells

We cloned lipG, which encoded a lipolytic enzyme, from a Korean tidal flat metagenomic library. LipG was related to six putative lipases previously identified only in bacterial genome sequences. These enzymes comprise a new family. We partially characterized LipG, providing

The two point test for the determination of lipase by Kurooka et al. (J. Biochem. Tokyo 81, 361-369 (1977)) was studied in detail. This procedure uses 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol-tributyrate as substrate and Ellman's reagent as an acceptor for the released thiol groups.
