Abstract

Hormone-sensitive lipase activity (HSL), which is found in the supernatant of centrifuged homogenates of lipolytically quiet isolated rat adipocytes, was greatly reduced in or absent from the supernatant of lipolytically stimulated cells. The lipase was purified 100- to 250-fold from the supernatant of lipolytically quiet cells to 10-20% purity by a single passage over phenyl-Sepharose resin with high (greater than 70%) activity yields. Western blotting of adipocyte homogenate fractions with polyclonal antiserum raised against HSL showed that the enzyme shifted quantitatively from the supernatant of control cells to the floating "fat cake" of lipolytically stimulated cells. A similar shift to the fat cake was observed when cells were disrupted by hypotonic lysis and centrifugation rather than by homogenization. We propose that upon lipolytic activation of adipocytes and phosphorylation of HSL by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, the critical event is not an increase in catalytic activity (i.e., turnover number) but a translocation of the lipase to its substrate at the surface of the lipid storage droplet.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
