Study on a Novel Cold-Active and Halotolerant Monoacylglycerol Lipase Widespread in Marine Bacteria Reveals a New Group of Bacterial Monoacylglycerol Lipases Containing Unusual C(A/S)HSMG Catalytic Motifs [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Monoacylglycerol lipases (MGLs) are present in all domains of life. However, reports on bacterial MGLs are still limited. Until now, reported bacterial MGLs are all thermophilic/mesophilic enzymes from warm terrestrial environments or deep-sea ...

Lipase production from Bacillus safensis VC-6 isolated from the volcanic region of Copahue: optimization and functional genomic insights [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyExtremophilic microorganisms produce highly stable and industrial-grade enzymes with enhanced performance. Thermostable enzymes, such as lipases that catalyze the hydrolysis and esterification of lipids, are of great industrial interest due to their ...

Lipases are differentially regulated by hormones to maintain free fatty acid homeostasis for insect brain development [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Free fatty acids (FFAs) play vital roles as energy sources and substrates in organisms; however, the molecular mechanism regulating the homeostasis of FFA levels in various circumstances, such as feeding and nonfeeding stages, is not fully ...

Investigation of lipolytic activity of the red king crab hepatopancreas homogenate by NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The digestive gland of craboids (hepatopancreas) is rich in a huge number of various enzymes (collagenases, nucleases, hyaluronidases, proteases), which are well studied at the moment. However, little is known about crustacean lipases.

Novel Effect of p-Coumaric Acid on Hepatic Lipolysis: Inhibition of Hepatic Lipid-Droplets
Molecules, 2023 p-coumaric acid (p-CA), a common plant phenolic acid with multiple bioactivities, has a lipid-lowering effect. As a dietary polyphenol, its low toxicity, with the advantages of prophylactic and long-term administration, makes it a potential drug for ...

Cytoplasmic fungal lipases release fungicides from ultra-deformable vesicular drug carriers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The Transfersome® is a lipid vesicle that contains membrane softeners, such as Tween 80, to make it ultra-deformable. This feature makes the Transfersome® an efficient carrier for delivery of therapeutic drugs across the skin barrier.

Intrinsic up-regulation of 2-AG favors an area specific neuronal survival in different in vitro models of neuronal damage [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) acts as a retrograde messenger and modulates synaptic signaling e. g. in the hippocampus. 2-AG also exerts neuroprotective effects under pathological situations.

Seed storage oil mobilization is important but not essential for germination or seedling establishment in Arabidopsis [PDF]
, 1992 Triacylglycerol (TAG) is a major storage reserve in many plant seeds. We previously identified a TAG lipase mutant called sugar-dependent1 (sdp1) that is impaired in TAG hydrolysis following Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed germination (Eastmond,
