Preferred Label : lipoprotein lipase;
MeSH definition : An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and
water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols
in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols.
It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose
tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type
I. (Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.34.;
