Lipase

Lysophospholipase-like protein 1 (LYPLAL1) is a member of the AB hydrolase 2 family. LYPLAL1 doesn’t exhibit phospholipase nor triacylglycerol lipase activity, able to hydrolyze only short chain substrates as a result of its shallow active site.

Acyl-protein thioesterase 2 (LYPLA2) is lysophospholipase which acts on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids. LYPLA2 may hydrolyze fatty acids from S-acylated cysteine residues in proteins such as trimeric G alpha proteins or HRAS.

LYPLA1 is lysophospholipase which performs on biological membranes to regulate the multifunctional lysophospholipids. LYPLA1 protein hydrolyzes fatty acids from S-acylated cysteine residues in proteins like trimeric G alpha proteins or HRAS and in addition has depalmitoylating activity.

LPL is a lipoprotein lipase, which is expressed in the heart, muscle, and adipose tissue. LPL acts as a homodimer, and has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated lipoprotein uptake. Type I hyperlipoproteinemia is a result of severe mutations which cause LPL deficiency, whereas less extreme mutations in LPL are linked to many disorders of lipoprotein metabolism. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a fundamental enzyme in plasma triglyceride hydrolysis and is secreted by macrophages in the subendothelial space. LPL also promotes the development of atherosclerosis through facilitation of monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells, stimulation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF) secretion and induction of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.

Lipase Endothelial (LIPG) has extensive phospholipase activity and may be involved in lipoprotein metabolism and vascular biology. The LIPG protein is considered a member of the TG lipase family through its sequence and characteristic lid region which provides substrate specificity for enzymes of the TG lipase family. In addition, the LIPG has triglyceride lipase activities. LIPG hydrolyzes HDLs more efficiently than other lipoproteins. LIPG also binds heparin.

Lipase (EC 3.1.1.3) is a ubiquitous enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats and oil. The Serratia marcescens lipase is recognized for its excellent enantioselectivity in biocatalytic hydrolysis of trans-3-(4-methoxyphynyl) glycidic acid methyl ester [(±)-MPGM] to produce (2R, 3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl) glycidic acid methyl ester [(-)-MPGM].

Carboxylesterase 2E or CES2E is an enzyme that hydrolyzes various carboxylic acid esters. This enzyme can be found mainly in mammalian liver cells. CES2E is taking part in chemical reactions, especially in carboxylic ester and water catalyzation to alcohol & carboxylate.

Carboxyl ester lipase also known as CEL, formely called cholesterol esterase or bile salt-stimulated lipase, is an enzyme with lipolytic capablity of hydrolyzing cholesteryl esters, tri-, di-, and mono- phospholipids, acylglycerol, ceramide and lysophospholipids. The carboxyl terminus of the enzyme controls enzymatic activity by creating hydrogen bonds with the surface loop to partlyshield the active site. The active catalytic site triad of serine-histidine-aspartate is centrally located in the enzyme structure and is partly covered by a surface loop. Bile salt binding to the loop domain set free the active site for accessibility by water-insoluble substrates. CEL is produced mainly in the pancreas and lactating mammary gland, thus the protein is also expressed in liver, macrophages, and in the vessel wall.

Phospholipase A1 Member A (PLA1A) is a phospholipase which hydrolyzes fatty acids at the sn-1 position of phosphatidylserine and 1-acyl-2-lysophosphatidylserine. The secreted PLA1A protein hydrolyzes phosphatidylserine in liposomes. PLA1A hydrolyzes phosphatidylserine (PS) in the form of liposomes and 1-acyl-2 lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS), but not triolein, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidic acid (PA) or phosphatidylinositol (PI). PLA1A isoform 2 hydrolyzes lyso-PS but not PS. The hydrolysis of lyso-PS in peritoneal mast cells activated by receptors for IgE leads to stimulation of histamine production.

MGLL is a membrane-associated member of the serine hydrolase superfamily. MGLL is expressed in abundance in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. MGLL functions jointly with hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE) to hydrolyze intracellular triglyceride stores in adipocytes and other cells to fatty acids and glycerol. MGLL may also complement lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in completing hydrolysis of monoglycerides resulting from degradation of lipoprotein triglycerides.
