Lipoprotein Lipase, Bovine

Lipoprotein lipase, Bovine (EC 3.1.1.34) belongs to the lipase gene family and is a water-soluble enzyme that hydrolyzes triglycerides in lipoproteins (such as those in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL)) into two free fatty acid molecules and one monoacylglycerol molecule. Lipoprotein also participates in promoting cellular uptake of chylomicron remnants, cholesterol-rich lipoproteins, and free fatty acids. Lipoprotein requires ApoC-II as a cofactor. Lipoprotein attaches to the luminal surface of capillary endothelial cells via glycosylphosphatidylinositol high-density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) and heparan sulfate proteoglycan.
