Abstract excerpt
Human endothelial lipase (EL), a member of the triglyceride lipase gene family, has five potential N-linked glycosylation sites, two of which are conserved in both lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. Reduction in molecular mass of EL after treatment with glycosidases and after treatment of EL-expressing cells with the glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin demonstrated that EL is a glycosylated protein. Each...
