Description for Lipase and Phospholipase Protocols
Hardback. A collection of step-by-step methods for the characterization, purification and expression of mammalian lipases and phospholipases. The methods include the preparation of a variety of unique substrates for the determination of lipolytic activity. Series: Methods in Molecular Biology. Num Pages: 362 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PDN; PSBZ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 25. Weight in Grams: 739.
The lipases and phospholipases represent a diverse group of enzymes that are expressed in animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria. Their ubiquitous distribution among all species is a testament to the essential roles played by these enzymes in lipid storage, mobilization and metabolism, membrane homeostasis and remodeling, endocrine and immune functions, and signal tra- duction. In humans, lipases and phospholipases are also thought to contribute to complex diseases, such as atherosclerosis, obesity, arthritis, and cancer, as well as to single gene defects, such as Wolman's disease and Type I hyperlipoproteinemia. Enzymatically, the lipases are unique, since they hydrolyze substrates that are ... Read more

Reviews for Lipase and Phospholipase Protocols
"...The book can be recommended to those scientists who are deeply engaged in lipid chemistry and analysis as well as enzymology. It provides a detailed listing of literature and other sources. Thus it can be successfully used as an introduction to new research fields and experimental techniques..."-Nahrung "In view of the rapid increase in ... Read more
