BL-Cholesterol esterase PANC

Cholesterol esterase PANC (pancreatic cholesterol esterase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters into free cholesterol and fatty acids. It is primarily produced in the pancreas and secreted into the small intestine, where it acts on dietary cholesterol esters found in food. Esterase of cholesterol PANC belongs to the serine hydrolase family and is highly specific for cholesterol esters. It has a high substrate affinity and catalytic efficiency, allowing it to hydrolyze cholesterol esters efficiently in the small intestine. The activity of the cholesterol esterase PANC is critical for regulating cholesterol levels in the body. High cholesterol levels in the blood have been linked to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, and cholesterol esterase PANC hydrolysis of cholesterol esters is an important step in the absorption and metabolism of cholesterol in the body. PANC, in addition to its role in cholesterol metabolism, has been linked to the metabolism of other lipids such as triglycerides and phospholipids. It has been shown to play a role in the digestion of milk fat, and its activity in breast milk has been detected.
