basic FUNCTION
| encoding a carboxyl esterase that hydrolyzes insoluble, emulsified triglycerides, and is essential for the efficient digestion of dietary fats |
|
PNLIP and CEL serve complementary functions, working together to mediate the absorption of a major portion of dietary fat and fat-soluble vitamin esters |
|
plays very important roles in the digestion and absorption of lipids |
|
may potentially be involved in the pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury and may be implicated in the proliferation of astrocytes and the recovery of neurological outcomes |
|
predominant lipase secreted by the exocrine pancreas |
|
its activity is restored by the addition of another pancreatic protein, colipase |
