Abstract excerpt
Endothelial lipase (LIPG) is the latest addition to the triglyceride lipase family of genes that includes pancreatic lipase (PL), hepatic lipase (HL), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). These lipolytic enzymes demonstrate both triglyceride lipase as well as phospholipase activities and are integrally involved in lipid absorption, transport, and metabolism. Several studies have demonstrated that LIPG is important for...
