CEL, also known as bile salt-activated lipase, is one of the Type-B carboxyl esterase/lipase family of enzymes. It is an enzyme produced by the adult pancreas and aids in the digestion of fats. Also, it catalyzes fat and vitamin absorption and acts in concert with pancreatic lipase and colipase for the complete digestion of dietary triglycerides. This protein is highly expressed by pancreatic acinar cells and secreted into the gastrointestinal tract. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa21-599 from mouse Carboxyl Ester Lipase/CEL fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in Baculovirus. Molecular Weight: ~64.5kDa (585aa) Biological Activity: Specific activity is > 100,000 pmol/min/ug, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyze 1.0 umole of p-nitrophenyl butyrate to p-nitrophenol per minute at pH 7.5 at 25C Amino Acid Sequence: AKLGAVYTEG GFVEGVNKKL SLLGGDSVDI FKGIPFATAK TLENPQRHPG WQGTLKATNF KKRCLQATIT QDNTYGQEDC LYLNIWVPQG RKQVSHNLPV MVWIYGGAFL MGSGQGANFL KNYLYDGEEI ATRGNVIVVT FNYRVGPLGF LSTGDANLPG NFGLRDQHMA IAWVKRNIAA FGGDPDNITI FGESAGAASV SLQTLSPYNK GLIRRAISQS GMALSPWAIQ KNPLFWAKTI AKKVGCPTED TGKMAACLKI TDPRALTLAY KLPVKKQEYP VVHYLAFIPV IDGDFIPDDP INLYNNTADI DYIAGINNMD GHLFATIDVP AVDKTKQTVT EEDFYRLVSG HTVAKGLKGA QATFDIYTES WAQDPSQENM KKTVVAFETD VLFLIPTEIA LAQHKAHAKS AKTYSYLFSH PSRMPIYPKW MGADHADDLQ YVFGKPFATP LGYRPQDRAV SKAMIAYWTN FARSGDPNMG NSPVPTHWYP YTLENGNYLD ITKTITSASM KEHLREKFLK FWAVTFEVLP TVTGDQDTLT PPEDDSEVAP DPPSDDSQVV PVPPTDDSVE AQMPATIGFH HHHHH Applications: Suitable for use in Enzyme Activity and SDS-PAGE.
