Lysosomal acid lipase/cholesteryl ester hydrolase

UniProtKB accession:  P38571

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the deacylation of cholesteryl ester core lipids of endocytosed low density lipoproteins to generate free fatty acids and cholesterol (PubMed:15269241, PubMed:1718995, PubMed:7204383, PubMed:8112342, PubMed:9633819). Hydrolyzes triglycerides (1,2,3-triacylglycerol) and diglycerides (such as 1,2-diacylglycerol and 1,3-diacylglycerol) with preference for the acyl moieties at the sn-1 or sn-3 positions (PubMed:7204383, PubMed:8112342).
