Mouse Hormone-sensitive lipase (LIPE) ELISA kit

Sample Types: serum, plasma, tissue homogenates Detection Range: 0.156 U/mL-10 U/mL Sensitivity: 0.039 U/mL Assay Principle: quantitative Measurement: SandwichAssay Time: 1-5h Sample Volume: 50-100ulDetection Wavelength: 450 nmProtein function: Lipase with broad substrate specificity, catalyzing the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols (DAGs), monoacylglycerols (MAGs), cholesteryl esters and retinyl esters (PubMed:15550674, PubMed:20625037, PubMed:21454566, PubMed:23066022, PubMed:23291629). Shows a preferential hydrolysis of DAGs over TAGs and MAGs and of the fatty acid (FA) esters at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone in TAGs. Preferentially hydrolyzes FA esters at the sn-3 position of the glycerol backbone in DAGs (PubMed:23066022). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2- arachidonoylglycerol, an endocannabinoid and of 2-acetyl monoalkylglycerol ether, the penultimate precursor of the pathway for de novo synthesis of platelet-activating factor (PubMed:20625037, PubMed:21454566). In adipose tissue and heart, it primarily hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids, while in steroidogenic tissues, it principally converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production.
