lipoprotein lipase  

Definición

  • Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis (breakdown) of triacylglycerols (TAG, or dietary fat) from lipoprotein carrying molecules into nonesterified free fatty acids and 2-monoacyglycerol for incorporation into tissues such as adipose, heart, and skeletal muscle. LPL plays an important role in lipid metabolism and dysregulation of this enzyme has been implicated in pathologies associated with obesity, including cardiovascular disease.
