Gene: LPL
Alternate names for this Gene: HDLCQ11|LIPD
Gene Summary: 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8p21.3
Description of this Gene: lipoprotein lipase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
