Lipoprotein lipase

Lipoprotein lipase (CAS 9004-02-8), also known as clearing factor lipase, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins, releasing free fatty acids for cellular uptake.

Where is Lipoprotein lipase used?

• Industrial and research: biocatalytic tool for lipid processing, diagnostic assay development and metabolic pathway research
• Pharmaceutical research: model lipid metabolism disorders
• Drug discovery programs targeting dyslipidemia and cardiovascular conditions
• Diagnostic kits: enzymatic assay systems for measuring triglyceride levels in clinical laboratory testing
• Biotechnology: reagent in lipoprotein characterization studies and in vitro metabolic modeling
• Formulation research where controlled lipid hydrolysis is required
• It is essential to evaluate lipid-based drug delivery systems.

Good to know: Activity is expressed in units per milligram of protein, with specifications varying by source organism, commonly bovine or bacterial origin. Buyers should confirm specific activity, purity, and storage requirements when sourcing.
