ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.3

Accepted Name
triacylglycerol lipase
Alternative Name(s)
lipase
tributyrase
triglyceride lipase
Reaction catalysed
a triacylglycerol + H2O <=> a diacylglycerol + a fatty acid + H(+)
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.
