Structural highlights
Disease[LIPL_HUMAN] Hyperlipoproteinemia type 5;Familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [HDBP1_HUMAN] Familial chylomicronemia syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[LIPL_HUMAN] The primary function of this lipase is the hydrolysis of triglycerides of circulating chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) (PubMed:27578112). Binding to heparin sulfate proteogylcans at the cell surface is vital to the function. The apolipoprotein, APOC2, acts as a coactivator of LPL activity in the presence of lipids on the luminal surface of vascular endothelium (By similarity).[1] [2] [HDBP1_HUMAN] Plays a key role in the lipolytic processing of chylomicrons. Required for the transport of lipoprotein lipase LPL into the capillary lumen (By similarity). References
