Anti-LPL Antibody (Center)

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. [provided by RefSeq].

This LPL antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 300-327 amino acids from the Central region of human LPL.

Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11151}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11151}; Extracellular side {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11151}. Secreted. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Note=Newly synthesized LPL binds to cell surface heparan proteoglycans and is then released by heparanase Subsequently, it becomes attached to heparan proteoglycan on endothelial cells (PubMed:27811232) . Locates to the plasma membrane of microvilli of hepatocytes with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) Some of the bound LPL is then internalized and located inside non- coated endocytic vesicles (By similarity) {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P11151, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27811232}
