LIPASE Flashcards
What is the chemical name of LIPASE?
Triacylglycerol Acylhydrolase
What is the systematic name of Lipase?
E.C.3.1.1.3
Why can’t LIPASE be seen in the urine?
Because lipase is absorbant to the circulation.
What is needed for the full catalytic activity of LIPASE?
Bile salts and cofactor (colipase)
What is the reaction catalyzed of Lipase?
The long chain fatty acids of glycerol esters.
What do you call the water-insoluble substances that lipase only acts on?
Emulsified substrate
Lipase requires access to ____________ that’s why
the emulsion of this will increase the
surface of lipids causing now a more
effective lipase activity.
Lipid
What is the importance of Lipase?
Responsible for triglyceride metabolism
If lipase acted on triglycerides, what would be the product/products.
Free fatty acids + glycerol
What are the examples of TAG-rich molecules?
Chylomicrons and VLDL
What is the major tissue source of lipase? How many times is the increase?
Pancreas; 9,000 folds
What is/are the tissue source of LIPASE?
PANCREAS
GIT
LEUKOCYTES
ADIPOSE CELLS
COLOSTRUM
In the methods of determination of LIPASE, what are the specimen used?
Serum
Pleural fluid
Ascitic fluid
What are the inhibitors in the methods of determination of lipase?
Heavy metals
Quinine
Esterase inhibitors
What does not inhibit the lipase?
fluoride or arsenilate
What increases the concentration of LPS?
Bacterium
Which phase is the bacteria rapidly multiplying?
Exponential/Log phase
Give examples of lipase-producing bacteria
Bacillus,
Pseudomonas,
Burkholderia mallei,
Burkholderia pseudomallei,
Streptomyces
This is the phase where the bacteria is adjusting to a new environment.
Lag phase
This is the phase where rapid multiplication of
bacteria takes place
Log / exponential phase
This is the phase where balance of multiplication and death.
Plateau phase
This is the best substrate for LPS determination
Long-Chain Triglycerol Substrate
fatty acid is titrated w/ alkali
solution
Titrimetric methods
This is the most common alkali solution
Sodium hydroxide
What would be form in the titrimetric method?n
Acid
