General description

Research area: Cell Signaling

Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) is a serine hydrolase, α/β-hydrolase, and is a member of the lipase family. CAL-B is composed of an α/β-hydrolase fold and the active site contains a Ser-His-Asp catalytic triad.

Application

Lipases are used industrially for the resolution of chiral compounds and the transesterification production of biodiesel.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Lipase B from Candida antarctica (CAL-B) acts as a catalyst for producing amines, amides, and alcohols.. It is used as a biocatalyst in research and industry. CAL-B is involved in the hydrolysis of triglycerides. Lipases catalyze the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols into glycerol and free fatty acids.

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol butyric acid per minute at pH 7.5 and 40°C (tributyrin, Cat. No. 91010, as substrate)
