PLRP2

Catalog Number P13687-H08B
Organism Species Human
Host Human Cells
Synonyms PLRP2
Molecular Weight The secreted recombinant human PNLIPRP2 consists of 462 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 51.5 KDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 57 Kda in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Lys 18

Background Galactolipase, also known as PNLIPRP2, is a lipase with broad substrate specificity. It can hydrolyze both phospholipids and galactolipids. Galactolipase acts preferentially on monoglycerides, phospholipids and galactolipids. It also hydrolyses milk fat with a lower catalytic efficiency. The expressed galactolipase shows a lipolytic activity that is, however, only marginally dependent on the presence of colipase. The lipolytic activity of pancreatic extracts and human pancreatic juice on Labrasol is mainly due to the combined action of carboxyl ester hydrolase and galactolipase.
