Endothelial lipase is a protein that belongs triglyceride lipase category. [1] This protein is encoded by the LIPG gene. [1] Endothelial lipase is secreted from vascular endothelial cells, being the only lipase to date. [3] The primary secretion is that of a 55kDa protein which is secreted to a 68kDa protein after post-translational ...

Hepatic lipase (HL), also called hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) or LIPC (for "lipase, hepatic"), is a form of lipase, catalyzing the hydrolysis of triacylglyceride. Hepatic lipase is coded by chromosome 15 and its gene is also often referred to as HTGL or LIPC . [ 5 ]
In biochemistry, lipase (/ ˈ l aɪ p eɪ s, ˈ l aɪ p eɪ z / LY-payss, LY-payz) refers to a class of enzymes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fats. Some lipases display broad substrate scope including esters of cholesterol , phospholipids , and of lipid-soluble vitamins [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and sphingomyelinases ; [ 3 ] however, these are usually ...
Lipoprotein lipase deficiency is a genetic disorder in which a person has a defective gene for lipoprotein lipase, which leads to very high triglycerides, which in turn causes stomach pain and deposits of fat under the skin, and which can lead to problems with the pancreas and liver, which in turn can lead to diabetes.
A similar mixture of enzymes is sold as pancrelipase, which contains more active lipase enzyme than does pancreatin. The trypsin found in pancreatin works to hydrolyze proteins into oligopeptides; amylase hydrolyzes starches into oligosaccharides and the disaccharide maltose; and lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols.
Inactivity of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays the predominant role in the development of familial hypertriglyceridemia. LPL plays a role in the metabolism of triglycerides within VLDL molecules. Inactivation mutations in LPL will create an environment with an increased concentration of VLDL molecules and therefore, triglycerides.
Lipaemia retinalis (LR) also spelled as Lipemia retinalis is an eye disease caused by high amounts of triglycerides in the blood (hypertriglyceridemia) or Lipoprotein lipase deficiency (chylomicronemia). In this condition the retinal arteries and veins, and occasionally the entire fundus shows creamy-white to salmon red discoloration.
