| Primary Identifier | IPR002918 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Lipase_EstA/Esterase_EstB |
| description | This family represents lipase estA and extracellular esterase estB. Lipase estA (also known as lipase LipA) was initially identified in Bacillus subtilis as a lipase that was active toward p-nitrophenyl esters and triacylglycerides, displaying a marked preference for esters with C8 acyl groups []. A second, secreted lipase (LipB) was then identified in Pseudomonas fluorescens []. However, it is likely that this second enzyme functions as an esterase, rather than a lipase []. It has therefore been renamed extracellular esterase estB. |
