Chimeras of Hepatic Lipase and Lipoprotein Lipase
Chimeric molecules between human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and rat hepatic lipase (HL) were used to identify structural elements responsible for functional differences. Based on the close sequence homology with pancreatic lipase, both LPL and HL are believed to have a two-domain structure composed of an aminoterminal (NHz-terminal) domain containing the catalytic Ser-His-Asp triad and a smaller ...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase, hepatic lipase, and carnitine in premature infants.
Twenty six preterm infants were studied at the age of 2, 7, and 26 days. The activities of lipoprotein and hepatic lipase in plasma taken 15 minutes after a heparin bolus of 100 IU/kg had been given and the concentrations of carnitine in serum and urine were measured. The mean gestational age was 31 weeks (range 26-35 weeks) and birth weight 1580 g (range 840-2280 g). Thirteen infants weighed u...
متن کاملBody mass index and hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) polymorphism jointly influence postheparin plasma hepatic lipase activity.
The -514 polymorphism in the hepatic lipase gene (LIPC) is associated with decreased hepatic lipase activity. In the present study, the interaction between body mass index (BMI), the -514 polymorphism, and hepatic lipase activity was examined in 118 white men and in 51 African American men. BMI was significantly positively correlated with hepatic lipase activity in both populations. BMI was sim...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of a chimeric lipase genetically engineered from human lipoprotein lipase and human hepatic lipase.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (HL) mediate the hydrolysis of triglycerides and phospholipids present in circulating lipoprotein particles and are essential for normal lipid metabolism. Both enzymes have a similar primary amino acid structure and share requirements for intact catalytic, lipid binding, and heparin binding domains. However, LPL and HL exhibit different substrate spec...
متن کاملPlasma lipoproteins in familial hepatic lipase deficiency.
We have studied the lipoproteins, apolipoproteins, and postheparin lipase activities in an extended pedigree with familial hepatic lipase deficiency. A deficiency of hepatic lipase was found in three of five brothers and in one of their children. Triglyceride enrichment of low density and high density lipoproteins was identified as the constitutive phenotype. beta-very low density lipoprotein w...
