SKU	02100817-CF
Alternate Names	E.C. 3.1.1.3; Steapsin; Glycerol ester hydrolase; Tween hydrolase; Tributyrase; PPL; Triacylglycerol acylhydrolase; Triacylglycerol lipase
Application Notes	Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel.
Base Catalog Number	100817
Biochemical Physiological Actions	Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of esters in aqueous solutions and the synthesis of esters in non-aqueous solutions. They also produce hydroxyl and carboxylic groups through the hydrolysis of ester linkages in poly(ethylene terephthalate). Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids.
