Cloning of rat lysosomal acid lipase cDNA and identification of the mutation in the rat model of Wolman's disease.

Lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) is a hydrolase essential for the intracellular degradation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides. We previously reported a rat model of Wolman's disease (Wolman rat) that is deficient for LAL activity. In this study, we cloned rat LAL (RLAL) cDNA and investigated a...
