The occurrence of classical pancreatic lipase (PL) and pancreatic lipase-related proteins 1 and 2 (PLRP1s and 2) in the pancreas of ten mammalian species (humans, pig, rat, guinea pig, coypu, rabbit, horse, ox, goat and sheep) and two bird species (ostrich and turkey) was investigated. The lipases were purified from delipidated pancreas and identified based on the results of Western blotting analysis with anti-human PLRP2 serum, the catalytic properties and N-terminal microsequencing data. PLRP2s were detected in the pancreas of monogastric herbivorous animals (guinea pig, coypu, rabbit and horse) but not in that of ruminant herbivorous animals (ox, goat and sheep). The pancreas of carnivorous animals (dogs and cats) does not have any detectable PLRP2, but contains high levels of PL and PLRP1. By contrast, the pancreas of omnivorous animals (humans and rats) contains PL, PLRP1 and PLRP2, with the exception of porcine pancreas, where no PLRP2 was detected. In the case of bird (ostrich and turkey) pancreases, only classical PL was detected. The substrate specificity of PLRP2s was investigated using phospholipid micelles and synthetic monomolecular galactolipid films. Like human PLRP2, rabbit and horse PLRP2s are galactolipases. In polygastric herbivorous animals (ruminants), however, galactolipids are hydrolyzed via microbial enzymatic processes (involving galactolipases). The absence of galactolipids in carnivorous animals' diet may explain why no PLRP2s were detected here in the pancreas of these species.
