Enzyme Information

3.1.1.13
Sterol esterase.
based on mapping to UniProt P19835
A steryl ester + H(2)O = a sterol + a fatty acid.
-!- A group of enzymes of broad specificity, acting on esters of sterols and long-chain fatty acids, that may also bring about the esterification of sterols. -!- Activated by bile salts.
3.1.1.3
Triacylglycerol lipase.
based on mapping to UniProt P19835
Triacylglycerol + H(2)O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate.
-!- The pancreatic enzyme acts only on an ester-water interface; the outer ester links are preferentially hydrolyzed.
