General description

Pancreatic lipase fulfills a key function in dietary fat absorption by hydrolyzing triglycerides into diglycerides and subsequently into monoglycerides and free fatty acids.

Application

Lipase has been used in a study to assess the effects of acidification on human milk′s cellular and nutritional content. It has also been used in a study to investigate the effect of physical training on the adipose tissue of diet-induced obesity mice.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The hormone leptin reduces pancreatic secretion and expression of lipase and has been shown to directly inhibit its activity.
Tri-, di-, and monoglycerides are hydrolyzed (in decreasing order of rate).

Physical form

Solution in 0.1 M Tris containing 0.1 M NaCl and serine protease inhibitor

Analysis Note

Protein determined by Lowry.

Other Notes

One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of 2-monoglyceride from 1,2-diglyceride per min at pH 8.1 at 37 °C.
