LPL
geneOn this page
Summary
LPL (lipoprotein lipase, HGNC:6677) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 8p21.3, encoding Lipoprotein lipase (P06858). Key enzyme in triglyceride metabolism.
LPL encodes lipoprotein lipase, which is expressed in heart, muscle, and adipose tissue. LPL functions as a homodimer, and has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated lipoprotein uptake. Severe mutations that cause LPL deficiency result in type I hyperlipoproteinemia, while less extreme mutations in LPL are linked to many disorders of lipoprotein metabolism.

Function. Key enzyme in triglyceride metabolism. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of triglycerides from circulating chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), and thereby plays an important role in lipid clearance from the blood stream, lipid utilization and storage. Although it has both phospholipase and triglyceride lipase activities it is primarily a triglyceride lipase with low but detectable phospholipase activity. Mediates margination of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein particles in capillaries. Recruited to its site of action on the luminal surface of vascular endothelium by binding to GPIHBP1 and cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts with GPIHBP1 with 1:1 stoichiometry. Interacts with APOC2; the interaction activates LPL activity in the presence of lipids. Interaction with heparan sulfate proteoglycans is required to protect LPL against loss of activity. Associates with lipoprotein particles in blood plasma. Interacts with LMF1 and SEL1L; interaction with SEL1L is required to prevent aggregation of newly synthesized LPL in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and for normal export of LPL from the ER to the extracellular space. Interacts with SORL1; SORL1 acts as a sorting receptor, promoting LPL localization to endosomes and later to lysosomes, leading to degradation of newly synthesized LPL.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.
Tissue specificity. Detected in blood plasma. Detected in milk (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. Tyrosine nitration after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge down-regulates the lipase activity.
Disease relevance. Hyperlipoproteinemia 1 (HLPP1) [MIM:238600] An autosomal recessive metabolic disorder characterized by defective breakdown of dietary fats, impaired clearance of chylomicrons from plasma causing the plasma to have a milky appearance, and severe hypertriglyceridemia. On a normal diet, patients often present with abdominal pain, hepatosplenomegaly, lipemia retinalis, eruptive xanthomata, and massive hypertriglyceridemia, sometimes complicated with acute pancreatitis. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Hyperlipidemia, familial combined, 3 (FCHL3) [MIM:144250] A disorder characterized by a variable pattern of elevated levels of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides or both. It is observed in a percentage of individuals with premature coronary heart disease. FCHL3 inheritance is autosomal dominant. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. The apolipoprotein APOC2 acts as a coactivator of LPL activity. Ca(2+) binding promotes protein stability and formation of the active homodimer. Interaction with GPIHBP1 protects LPL against inactivation by ANGPTL4. Inhibited by NaCl.
Similarity. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
