Application

2,3-Dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate is a thioester analog of triacylglycerol[1] and has been used:

in lipase inhibition assay during in vitro screening of medicinal plants as antidiabetics with glucosidase and lipase inhibitory activities[2]
in colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity[3]
to analyze positional specificity of LipG (lipase-encoding gene) toward triacylglycerol by a simple continuous spectrophotometric method[1]

Lipolytic activity of ricin from Ricinus sanguineus and Ricinus communis on neutral lipids.

S Lombard et al.

The Biochemical journal, 358(Pt 3), 773-781 (2001-09-06)

The present study was carried out with a view of determining ricin lipolytic activity on neutral lipids in emulsion and in a membrane-like model. Using 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (BAL-TC(4)) as substrate, the lipolytic activity of ricin was found to be proportional

Isolation and characterization of a novel lipase from a metagenomic library of tidal flat sediments: evidence for a new family of bacterial lipases.

Mi-Hwa Lee et al.

Applied and environmental microbiology, 72(11), 7406-7409 (2006-09-05)

We cloned lipG, which encoded a lipolytic enzyme, from a Korean tidal flat metagenomic library. LipG was related to six putative lipases previously identified only in bacterial genome sequences. These enzymes comprise a new family. We partially characterized LipG, providing

A colorimetric microplate assay method for high throughput analysis of lipase activity.

Suk-Jung Choi et al.

Journal of biochemistry and molecular biology, 36(4), 417-420 (2003-08-05)

The present work describes a colorimetric microplate assay for lipase activity based on the reaction between 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitro benzoic acid) (DTNB) and the hydrolysis product of 2,3-dimercapto-1-propanol tributyrate (DMPTB). Reaction mixtures containing DTNB, DMPTB, and lipase were prepared in microplate wells

Modification of lipase from Candida cylindracea with dextran using the borane-pyridine complex to improve organic solvent stability.

Shota Kajiwara et al.

Journal of biotechnology, 296, 1-6 (2019-03-12)

In this study, a commercial lipase derived from Candida cylindracea was chemically modified with dextran by conjugating ε-amine in the lysine residue with the carbonyl residue in oxidized dextran using the borane-pyridine complex as a reducing agent to increase the
