| 摘要 |
The present invention is directed toward a thermostable lipoprotein lipase capable of hydrolyzing triglycerides in lipoproteins to glycerol and fatty acids, a process for producing the thermostable lipoprotein lipase, and a blood triglyceride determining reagent containing the thermostable lipoprotein lipase. The thermostable lipoprotein lipase exhibits about 100% retention of the hydrolyzing activity when treated in a buffer having a pH of from bout 4 to 7 at about 60 DEG C for about 15 minutes and a glycerol forming activity/fatty acid forming activity ratio of at least about 15%. The process comprises cultivating a thermophilic actinomycetes, particularly Streptomyces 7825 (FERM P-9983, FERM BP-2489 and recovering lipoprotein lipase from the culture. |
