Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

The primary function of this lipase is the hydrolysis of triglycerides of circulating chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL). 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). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor {ECO:0000250}. Secreted {ECO:0000250}. Note=Locates to the plasma membrane of microvilli of hepatocytes with triacyl- glycerol-rich lipoproteins (TRL). Some of the bound LPL is then internalized and located inside non-coated endocytic vesicles (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in liver, epididymal fat, heart, psoas muscle, lactating mammary gland, adrenal, lung, and ovary. Highest levels in heart and adrenal gland. {ECO:0000269PubMed:2723548}.
