COLIPASE

Uses

Colipase from porcine pancreas has been used:

• in the enzyme solution for lipase assay
• in an enzyme mixture to simulate gastrointestinal digestion
• as one of the apparent critical factors to study its effect on lycopene in vitro accessibility

Biochem/physiol Actions

Overcomes the inhibition of lipase by bile salts. Activity can be demonstrated turbidimetrically in an emulsion of triolein and sodium deoxycholate together with porcine pancreatic lipase.
