| 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}. | |
