Note

  • /defic: consider also HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE I

Scope note

  • An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols. It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type I. (Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.34.

History note

  • HEPARIN-CLEARING FACTOR & LIPEMIA-CLEARING FACTOR were see under LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE 1963-80
