The enzyme triacylglycerol lipase (also triglyceride lipase, EC 3.1.1.3;systematic name triacylglycerol acylhydrolase) catalyses the hydrolysis of ester linkages of triglycerides: [1]
These lipases are widely distributed in animals, plants and prokaryotes. This family was also called class 3 lipases as they are only distantly related to other lipase families. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
DAGLA; DAGLB; LOC221955; The pancreatic enzyme acts only on an ester-water interface.
