DE   lipoprotein lipase.
AN   clearing factor lipase.
AN   diacylglycerol lipase.
AN   diglyceride lipase.
CA   a triacylglycerol + H2O = a diacylglycerol + a fatty acid + H(+).
CC   -!- Hydrolyzes triacylglycerols and diacylglycerol in chylomicrons and
CC       low-density lipoprotein particles (VLDL).
CC   -!- Human protein purified from post-heparin plasma (LPL) shows no
CC       activity against triglyceride in the absence of added lipoprotein.
CC   -!- The principal reaction sequence of that enzyme is triglyceride ->
CC       1,2-diglyceride -> 2-monoglyceride.
CC   -!- The hepatic enzyme (LIPC) also hydrolyzes triglycerides and
CC       phospholipids present in circulating plasma lipoproteins.
