SYNONYMS
LIPG, Lipase Endothelial, EDL, EL, Endothelial Cell-Derived Lipase, EC 3.1.1.3, PRO719, Endothelial Lipase, Lipoprotein Lipase H, EC 3.1.1.
INTRODUCTION
Lipase Endothelial (LIPG) has extensive phospholipase activity and may be involved in lipoprotein metabolism and vascular biology. The LIPG protein is considered a member of the TG lipase family through its sequence and characteristic lid region which provides substrate specificity for enzymes of the TG lipase family. In addition, the LIPG has triglyceride lipase activities. LIPG hydrolyzes HDLs more efficiently than other lipoproteins.
DESCRIPTION
LIPG Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 343 amino acids (21-340) and having a molecular mass of 38kDa.
LIPG is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
