A variety of lipolytic enzymes with serine as part of the active site have been
identified [1]. Protein sequences which contain this active site signature include; Aeromonas hydrophila lipase, Vibrio mimicus arylesterase, Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermolabile haemolysin,
rabbit phospholipase (AdRab-B), and Brassica napus anther-specific proline-rich protein. A serine has been identified as part of the active site in the A. hydrophila, V. mimicus and Escherichia coli enzymes.
