Abstract excerpt
The structure of human lipoprotein lipase was recently deduced from its cDNA sequence. It contains 8 serine residues (residues 45, 132, 143, 172, 193, 244, 251, and 363) that are absolutely conserved in both lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase across all species studied. The high homology betwe...
