Abstract: In this paper, the research progresses of TGL were reviewed. Triacylglycerol lipase(TGL)which is highly conserved in evolution mainly involved in TAG hydrolysis; the analysis results of the protein structure of TGLs showed that the proteins have patatin domain containing conserved motif GXSXG; TGL are usually located in microbial oil droplets, plant seeds and animal’s adipose tissue, however, its mRNAs were also detected in plant chloroplasts and other animals tissues such as cytoplasm; the lipase activities of TGLs were very high, which contribute to various metabolic processes which have relations with obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, additionally, TGL also play important roles in various developmental stages of plants such as seed germination, seedling growth and leaf senescence.
