Anti-PNLIP / Pancreatic lipase, clone PNLIP/9038

0.2 mg/ml in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/ml BSA (US sourced), 0.05% sodium azide. The lipase gene family belongs to one of the most robust genetic superfamilies found in living organisms, which includes esterases and thioesterases. Members of the AB hydrolase subfamily include hepatic lipase (HL), endothelial lipase (EL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), Pancreatic Lipase (PL), gastric lipase (GL) and LCAT. These family members play a crucial role in the metabolism of lipids. Pancreatic Lipase, also designated pancreatic triacylglycerol acyl hydrolase, is important for dietary fat absorption as it hydrolyses triglycerides into diglycerides, monoglycerides and free fatty acids. Protein function: Plays an important role in fat metabolism. It preferentially splits the esters of long-chain fatty acids at positions 1 and 3, producing mainly 2-monoacylglycerol and free fatty acids, and shows considerably higher activity against insoluble emulsified substrates than against soluble ones.
