Term Name: lipoprotein lipase activity
Synonyms: clearing factor lipase activity, diacylglycerol hydrolase activity, diacylglycerol lipase activity, diglyceride lipase activity, lipemia-clearing factor, postheparin esterase activity, postheparin lipase activity, triacylglycero-protein acylhydrolase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: triacylglycerol + H2O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate, where the triacylglycerol is part of a lipoprotein. May also hydrolyze diacylglycerol and phospholipids present in lipoproteins.
