(LAB) Pancreatic Enzymes Flashcards
Lipase is also known as
Triacylglycerol Acylhydrolase
Lipase catalyzes TAG in the intestines into what
2-monoglyceride & fatty acids
Optimal Temp for Lipase Assay
40 C
Optimum pH for Lipase Assay
8.8
Lipase Assay Method:
Measures the liberated fatty acids by titration after a 24hr incubation
Classic Cherry-Crandall Method
Lipase Assay Method:
Based on the coupled reactions with enzymes
Colorimetric method
Substrate used for Classic Cherry-Crandall Method
Olive Oil
Pancreatic Enzymes that are stable in Serum
Lipase & Amylase
Lipase Assay Method:
Dispersed particles of hydrolyzed fats and the rate of clearing can be measured as an estimation of LPS activity
Turbidimetric Method
Enzymes with coupled reaction in the Colorimetric Method
Peroxidase
Glycerol Kinase
Modified substrate for Classic Cherry-Crandall Method
Triolein
What conditions do not interfere with Turbidimetric Method
Icterus
Lipemia
Hemolysis
Pancreatic Enzymes unstable in Serum
Lactate Dehydrogenase
In room temperature, how long will Lipase activity last before a loss
1 week
In 4 C, how long will Lipase activity last before a loss
at least 3 weeks
Why should Hemolysis be avoided in Lipase Assays
Hemoglobin inhibits serum in Lipase
Reference range of Lipase in Room Temperature
0-1.0 U/L
Reference range of Lipase at 37 C
< 38 U/L
Enzyme Commission Number of Lipase
E.C. 3.1.1.3
Enzyme Commission Number of Amylase
E.C. 3.2.1.1
Amylase is aka
1,4 - D - Glucan Glucanohydrolase
This Enzyme breaks down starch and glycogen to monosaccharides
Amylase
Activators of Amylase
Calcium & Chloride ions
