| Accepted name: |
triacylglycerol lipase |
| Reaction: |
triacylglycerol + H2O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate |
| Other name(s): |
lipase (ambiguous); butyrinase; tributyrinase; Tween hydrolase; steapsin; triacetinase; tributyrin esterase; Tweenase; amno N-AP; Takedo 1969-4-9; Meito MY 30; Tweenesterase; GA 56; capalase L; triglyceride hydrolase; triolein hydrolase; tween-hydrolyzing esterase; amano CE; cacordase; triglyceridase; triacylglycerol ester hydrolase; amano P; amano AP; PPL; glycerol-ester hydrolase; GEH; meito Sangyo OF lipase; hepatic lipase; lipazin; post-heparin plasma protamine-resistant lipase; salt-resistant post-heparin lipase; heparin releasable hepatic lipase; amano CES; amano B; tributyrase; triglyceride lipase; liver lipase; hepatic monoacylglycerol acyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
triacylglycerol acylhydrolase |
| Comments: |
The pancreatic enzyme acts only on an ester-water interface; the outer ester links are preferentially hydrolysed. |
