| Description | This family of proteins is involved in the enzymatic breakdown of triglycerides into their component fatty acids and glycerol, a process known as hydrolysis. Members of this family exhibit a high degree of stereospecificity, meaning they can distinguish between molecularly similar compounds based on their three-dimensional orientation. This specificity is not only crucial for their role in lipid metabolism but also makes them valuable for applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of glucolipids which are important for various biological functions including as components of cell membranes and as signaling molecules. | Name | Stereospecific Lipase |
| Short Name | Stereospecific_Lipase | Type | Family |
