EC 3.1.1.34
Properties
Nomenclature: Triacylglycero-protein acylhydrolase
Molecular weight: 47 kD
Effectors: Hg 2+ , Ag + , Cr 2+ , Sn 2+ , Cu 2+ and ionic detergents inhibit. Mg 2+ ,
sodium cholate and BSA stabilize the enzyme. 4-Chloromercuribenzoate (2
mmol/l), monoiodoacetate (2 mmol/l), NaF (20 mmol/l), NaN 3 (20 mmol/l),
EDTA (5 mmol/l) and 2-phenanthroline (2 mmol/l) do not affect the enzyme
activity while SDS (0.1% (w/v)) is inactivating.
pH optimum: 7.5 (see figure)
pH stability: 6.0-10.0 (see figure)
Thermal stability: Up to +50°C (see figure)
Specificity: Lipoprotein Lipase has both lipolytic and sterol ester hydrolytic
activities. It hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, lipoproteins and diacyl-
glycerols. With human plasma as substrate triglycerides are hydrolyzed more
rapidly than cholesterol esters. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the en-
zymatic activity are somewhat different between the hydrolysis of triglyceride
and of cholesterol ester depending on the different states of these substrates
in the plasma or the transfer of the reaction products at the interface of sub-
strates.
Lipolytic activity (Substrate, Number of C-atoms to number of double bonds,
Relative rate):
olive oil: 94%
triolein (18:1): 100%
tripalmitin (16:0): 2%
trimyristin (14:0): 7%
trilaurin (12:0): 4%
tricaprin (10:0): 17%
tricaprylin (8:0): 64%
tricaproin (6:0): 2%
tributyrin (4:0): 2%
tripropionin (3:0): 2%
triacetin (2:0): 1%
Remark: Chemically modified Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) is more hydrophilic
than native LPL. Carryover effect is therefore reduced.
