Triacylglycerol lipase; Responsible for the utilization of stored long-chain triacylglycerol (TG) during dormancy and reactivation stage of the infection cycle. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of long-chain triacylglycerol with high specific activity; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the 'GDXG' lipolytic enzyme family.

Probable carboxylesterase LipQ; Shows lipase activity. Is highly immunogenic and may play an important role in the virulence and pathogenesis of M.tuberculosis infection, by altering the balance of cytokines. Significantly down-regulates the expression level of pro- inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma) and up-regulates the level of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-10 as compared to LPS stimulated macrophages. Also inhibits the expression of iNOS, TLR2 and transcription factor NF-kappa-B in LPS stimulated macrophages whereas the expression of TLR-4 remains unc [...]
