LPL (2C5) Antibody

LPL (Lipoprotein lipase) is expressed in heart, muscle and adipose tissue. LPL functions as a homodimer and has 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.
