General description

Research area: Cell Signaling

Lipase is derived from Aspergillus oryzae by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatography.Lipases or triacylglycerol acyl hydrolases are a group of hydrolase enzymes that are usually found in humans and animals with monogastric stomachs. Lipase enzymes are generally formed in the pancreas and stomach where they aid in fat and lipids digestion.(2)

Application

Lipase from Aspergillus oryzae has been used:
  • as a control enzyme in activity assays
  • as a component in lipolase stock solution for the hydrolysis experiments
  • to incubate scaffolds for lipase-accelerated degradation experiments
  • as the lipolytic enzyme standard to detect lipolytic enzymatic activity via chromogenic agar plates and zymography

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipase is widely used in several industries including food and pharmaceuticals. It mediates the hydrolysis of fats and oil. Lipase is utilized for peptide synthesis and in the detergent industry. It is active in the range of pH 2-5 and temperature between 30-50°C. Metal ions such as Fe2+, Fe3+, and Cu2+ prevent the action of lipase. A less polar organic solvent is preferred for high stability.Lipases play a crucial role in digestion as well as the transportation and processing of dietary lipid substrates by catalyzing the hydrolysis of ester bonds in lipid substrates. The lipase from Aspergillus oryzae (AOL), a multipurpose biocatalyst can be used in the kinetic resolution of a biotin intermediate lactone,α-lipoic acid, and 1-phenylethanol. Additionally, it has the ability to stereoselectively catalyze the hydrolysis of ethyl 2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanoate and its analogs, which are key intermediates in the production of aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides. AOL serves as a promising biocatalyst in the esterification of a series of short-chain acids and alcohols to produce flavor esters. It can be used to catalyze the esterification of lauric acid with aromatic alcohol-benzyl alcohol.

To maintain functionality during in situ vascular regeneration, the rate of implant degradation should be closely balanced by neo-tissue formation. It is unknown, however, how the implant's functionality is affected by the degradation of the polymers it is composed of.
