gene

Also known as HSL

Summary

LIPE (lipase E, hormone sensitive type, HGNC:6621) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.2, encoding Hormone-sensitive lipase (Q05469). Lipase with broad substrate specificity, catalyzing the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols (DAGs), monoacylglycerols (MAGs), cholesteryl esters and retinyl esters.

The protein encoded by this gene has a long and a short form, generated by use of alternative translational start codons. The long form is expressed in steroidogenic tissues such as testis, where it converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production. The short form is expressed in adipose tissue, among others, where it hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids.

Genomic neighbors (locus context)

Genes flanking this one on the chromosome (NCBI/Entrez gene neighborhood). Positional context only — some neighbors share regulatory elements (bidirectional promoters, antisense/overlapping transcripts), but chromosomal adjacency is not itself a functional relationship (see Interactions for that).

Hormone-sensitive lipase — Q05469 (reviewed: Q05469)

Alternative names: Monoacylglycerol lipase LIPE, Retinyl ester hydrolase

All UniProt accessions (7): Q05469, M0QXB1, M0QXM5, M0QY29, M0QYP8, M0R201, M0R2G1

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Lipase with broad substrate specificity, catalyzing the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols (DAGs), monoacylglycerols (MAGs), cholesteryl esters and retinyl esters. Shows a preferential hydrolysis of DAGs over TAGs and MAGs and preferentially hydrolyzes the fatty acid (FA) esters at the sn-3 position of the glycerol backbone in DAGs. Preferentially hydrolyzes FA esters at the sn-1 and sn-2 positions of the glycerol backbone in TAGs. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of 2-arachidonoylglycerol, an endocannabinoid and of 2-acetyl monoalkylglycerol ether, the penultimate precursor of the pathway for de novo synthesis of platelet-activating factor. In adipose tissue and heart, it primarily hydrolyzes stored triglycerides to free fatty acids, while in steroidogenic tissues, it principally converts cholesteryl esters to free cholesterol for steroid hormone production.

Subunit / interactions. Monomer and homodimer. Interacts with CAVIN1 in the adipocyte cytoplasm. Interacts with PLIN5.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Membrane. Caveola. Cytoplasm. Cytosol. Lipid droplet.

Tissue specificity. Testis.

Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylation by AMPK reduces its translocation towards the lipid droplets.

Disease relevance. Lipodystrophy, familial partial, 6 (FPLD6) [MIM:615980] An autosomal recessive form of lipodystrophy characterized by abnormal subcutaneous fat distribution. Affected individuals have increased visceral fat, impaired lipolysis, dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, systemic insulin resistance, and diabetes. Some patients manifest muscular dystrophy. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Activity regulation. Retinyl ester hydrolase is inhibited by bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate.

Pathway. Glycerolipid metabolism; triacylglycerol degradation.

Similarity. Belongs to the ‘GDXG’ lipolytic enzyme family.
