The effect of apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, C-II, C-III and E on the hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine and triacylglycerol by hepatic lipase was studied. Hepatic lipase catalyzed phospholipid hydrolysis was 1.8-fold activated by apolipoprotein E while the other apolipoproteins did not affect the hydrolysis by this enzyme. Triacylglycerol hydrolysis by hepatic lipase was 1.5-fold activated by apolipoprotein E while the other apolipoproteins inhibited hepatic lipase. These results suggest that lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein E may be preferred substrates for hepatic lipase.
