Mar 21, 2012 at 15:45 comment added Larry_Parnell If a lipase did not need activation, there is the risk that it would digest membrane constituents before compartmentalization and secretion. I'd expect most lipases to have a signal peptide, which needs to be cleaved prior to activation.

Mar 21, 2012 at 14:32 comment added shigeta I wasn't aware that most lipases needed any activation at all. wikipedia says it is secreted from the pancreas in active form. It might be pH dependent because its a digestive enzyme, but most lipases are....

Mar 21, 2012 at 0:11 comment added Miriam Doesn't lingual lipase have an optimal pH around 4 - 5? That's why it can still continue its catalytic activity even in the stomach...
Mar 20, 2012 at 14:13 comment added Larry_Parnell Which lipase do you have in mind? From which organism(s)? There are over 90 lipase genes in the human genome.
Mar 20, 2012 at 4:26 comment added please delete me @MadScientist I was using a 10% lipase solution; that was all the information about the kind of lipase that I was given.
Mar 20, 2012 at 4:25 comment added please delete me @Danielδ Oh my. That is almost exactly the experiment I did the other day, except I got no results. I'm wondering if my lipase was kind of smurfed.

Mar 19, 2012 at 18:18 comment added Mad Scientist There are several different lipases, you might want to specify which one you're interested in. It might help to add your motivation for asking this question, so that we might better understand what exactly you are looking for.
