4-Methylumbelliferyl palmitate M570 Gefitinib is an anti-cancer agent4 Methylumbelliferyl palmitate is used as a fluorogenic substrate for a subclass of esterases called lipase. Lipase is an enzyme that assists in the hydrolysis of fats. They have a large role in digestion as well as dietary lipid transport. Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL), in particular, is required for the hydrolysis of cholesterol esters which are then delivered into the lysosome. Deficiencies in LAL are primarily associated with two diseases:
