Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)

2 reactions · 1 pathways

Cofactors used

H2O

Clinical / pharmacological. LPL or apoC-II deficiency: familial chylomicronaemia (type I), pancreatitis

What it does, reaction by reaction

2 reactions

Lipoprotein Metabolism (Exogenous and Endogenous Pathways: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, HDL) Lipid Metabolism · Intestine, liver, plasma, capillary endothelium

step 5 Irreversible/directional

Chylomicron TAG + H2O → fatty acids + glycerol

Converts Chylomicron TAG H2O into Fatty acid Glycerol

› Notes

Endothelial LPL, activated by apoC-II and anchored by GPIHBP1, hydrolyzes core TAG. Insulin increases LPL activity in adipose tissue in the fed state, whereas cardiac/skeletal muscle LPL favors fatty-acid uptake according to local energy demand. Released fatty acids enter adipocytes for storage or muscle for oxidation; glycerol returns to liver.

step 10 Irreversible/directional

VLDL TAG + H2O → fatty acids + glycerol; VLDL → IDL

Converts VLDL TAG H2O into Fatty acid Glycerol VLDL

› Notes

LPL, activated by apoC-II, removes much of the VLDL TAG in capillary beds. ApoC-II is returned to HDL, and the particle becomes an intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL; VLDL remnant) enriched in cholesteryl esters and retaining apoB-100 and apoE.

What accelerates and inhibits it

Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately

1 entries

Lipoprotein Metabolism (Exogenous and Endogenous Pathways: chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, HDL)

Accelerated by

ApoC-II; GPIHBP1-mediated endothelial presentation; ANGPTL8 in the fed state favors adipose LPL

Inhibited by

ApoC-III; ANGPTL3/ANGPTL4 (tissue/context dependent)

Hormonal control

Insulin increases adipose LPL after feeding; fasting shifts relative LPL activity toward oxidative tissues
