Lipoprotein lipase in lungs, spleen, and liver: synthesis and distribution.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL, E C 3.1.1.34) is the enzyme responsible for hydrolysis of triacylglycerols in plasma lipoproteins, making the fatty acids available for use by subjacent tissues. LPL is functional at the surface of endothelial cells, but it is not clear which cells synthesize the enzyme and...
