Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.352.100.400
Unique ID: D008049
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008049
Annotation: /defic: consider also LIPID METABOLISM, INBORN ERRORS & CHOLESTEROL ESTER STORAGE DISEASE & WOLMAN DISEASE; LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE is also available
Scope Note: An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.
