ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.3

Accepted Name
Triacylglycerol lipase.
Alternative Name(s)
Lipase.
Tributyrase.
Triglyceride lipase.
Reaction catalysed
Triacylglycerol + H(2)O <=> diacylglycerol + a carboxylate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is found in diverse organisms including animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria.
  • It hydrolyzes triglycerides into diglycerides and subsequently into monoglycerides and free fatty acids.
  • The enzyme is highly soluble in water and acts at the surface of oil droplets.
  • Access to the active site is controlled by the opening of a lid, which, when closed, hides the hydrophobic surface that surrounds the active site.
  • The lid opens when the enzyme contacts an oil-water interface (interfacial activation).
  • The pancreatic enzyme requires a protein cofactor, namely colipase, to counteract the inhibitory effects of bile salts.
