Phase 1 Metabolising Enzyme (1-st Step of Metabolism)
CYP3A4
Primary Drug Target
| Name | Extrahepatic lipoprotein lipase (LL) | | Gene Name | LPL | | Synonyms | Lipoprotein lipase precursor; EC 3.1.1.34; LPL | | Specific Function | The primary function of this lipase is the hydrolysis of triglycerides of circulating chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). The enzyme functions in the presence of apolipoprotein C-2 on the luminal surface of vascular endothelium | | Pathway | map00561 Glycerolipid metabolism | | Reaction | triacylglycerol + H2O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate |
