Product Description
The lipase is a triacylglycerol acyl hydrolase which catalyzes the hydrolysis of natural substrate oils to form fatty acids, glycerol and mono- or diglycerides. The basic unit of lipase is only amino acids, usually only one polypeptide chain. Its catalytic activity is only determined by its protein structure.
Lipase is a kind of enzyme with multiple catalytic capabilities, which can catalyze the hydrolysis, alcoholysis, esterification, transesterification and reverse synthesis of esters of triacylglycerides and other water-insoluble esters. It also exhibits the activity of other enzymes such as phospholipase, lysophospholipase, cholesterol esterase, acyl peptide hydrolase activity, etc. (Hara; Schmid). The different activities of lipase depend on the characteristics of the reaction system, such as promoting ester hydrolysis at the oil-water interface, and enzymatic synthesis and transesterification in the organic phase.
