Lipases

Overview

Lipases are a class of enzymes that hydrolyze the ester bonds in fat molecules, breaking them down into glycerol and fatty acids. Obesity, as a complex metabolic disease, is closely related to the imbalance of fat metabolism. Alterations in lipase activity affect fat absorption, storage, and utilization, thus having an impact on body weight and body fat distribution.

Protheragen offers lipase products from a variety of sources and at different concentrations to meet our clients' research needs in the field of obesity.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is lipase the third most popular enzyme?

   Lipase is the third-largest enzyme after amylase and protease, and its substrate diversity and richness are only second to protease. Lipase has many kinds of substrates; for example, the substrates of lipase contained in wheat can be up to 23 kinds, such as glycerides, phospholipids, glycolipids, etc. Plus, it is different from other hydrolytic enzymes, which have two-phase reaction interfaces of water and oil, so it is more popular.

2. How to test lipase activity?
   • Immunological methods: Western blot, radioimmunoassays (RIAs), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
   • Physical and chemical methods: Plate methods, colorimetric methods, and titration methods.
