Contaminants
ATPase: <0.005 Catalase: <1.0 Glycerokinase: <0.001 Hexokinase: <0.005 ''NADH oxidase'': <0.001 Uricase: <0.005
Specificity
Lipoprotein Lipase has both lipolytic and sterol ester hydrolytic activities. It hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, lipoproteins and diacylglycerols. With human plasma as substrate triglycerides are hydrolyzed more rapidly than cholesterol esters. The effects of pH and ionic strength on the enzymatic activity are somewhat different between the hydrolysis of triglyceride and of cholesterol ester depending on the different states of these substrates in the plasma or the transfer of the reaction products at the interface of substrates.
Thermal stability
Up to +50°C
Stability
At +2 to +8°C within specification range for 12 months. Store dry.
