| Application: | Lipase from Candida rugosa has been used: • for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel. • for studying the immobilization of different lipase enzymes on graphene oxide support for high-efficiency biocatalysis. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Candida rugosa lipase is known to catalyze hydrolysis reactions, especially the production of ricinoleic acid. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids. |
| General description: | Research area: Cell signaling Lipase is a part of the alpha/beta-hydrolase fold superfamily of enzymes and is expressed in multiple tissues, including the liver, adipocytes, small intestine, and endothelial surface. |
| Other Notes: | 1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol oleic acid per minute at pH 8.0 and 40 °C (triolein, Cat. No. 62314 as substrate) |
| Other Notes: | A highly stereospecific catalyst suitable for preparative resolution of racemic acids and alcohols; Stereoselective ester synthesis; Benzyl-alkyl transesterification under mild neutral conditions; Enantioselectivity of some lipases: Review |
