[75] Monoacylglycerol lipase from rat adipose tissue: EC 3.1. 1.23 Glycerol-monoester acylhydrolase
H Tornqvist, P Belfrage - Methods in enzymology, 1981 - Elsevier
Rat adipose tissue contains very active long-chain monoacylglycerol hydrolase activity. Most
of this is due to monoacylglycerol lipase~ an enzyme first described by Vaughan et al. 2 The
enzyme has been extensively purified and partially characterized) The physiological role of
the enzyme is not clear; its activity is not influenced by the nutritional state of the animal or by
hormones.~ It has been suggested that monoacylglycerol lipase catalyzes the hydrolysis of
monoacylglycerols derived both from the hormone-sensitive lipase-catalyzed intraceUular …
