Lysosomal lipase is a form of lipase which functions intracellularly, in the lysosomes.
Clinical significance
A deficiency associated with lysosomal acid lipase deficiency, Wolman disease, and cholesteryl ester storage disease.
Chlorpromazine is an inhibitor of lysosomal lipase.[1]
A genome wide survey suggests that lysosomal lipase A (located at chromosome 10q23.31) is associated with coronary artery disease in humans.[2]
