UniProt functional annotation for P02703

UniProt code: P02703.

Organism: Sus scrofa (Pig).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Suina; Suidae; Sus.
 
Function: Colipase is a cofactor of pancreatic lipase. It allows the lipase to anchor itself to the lipid-water interface. Without colipase the enzyme is washed off by bile salts, which have an inhibitory effect on the lipase. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04118}.
 
Function: Enterostatin has a biological activity as a satiety signal. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P04118}.
 
Subunit: Forms a 1:1 stoichiometric complex with pancreatic lipase. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1522902, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7773176, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8479519, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8663362}.
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Expressed by the pancreas.
Similarity: Belongs to the colipase family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00674}.
