Background
LIPC encodes hepatic triglyceride lipase, which is expressed in liver. LIPC has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated lipoprotein uptake. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],catalytic activity:Triacylglycerol + H(2)O = diacylglycerol + a carboxylate.,disease:Defects in LIPC are the cause of hepatic lipase deficiency (HL deficiency) [MIM:151670].,function:Hepatic lipase has the capacity to catalyze hydrolysis of phospholipids, mono-, di-, and triglycerides, and acyl-CoA thioesters. It is an important enzyme in HDL metabolism. Hepatic lipase binds heparin.,online information:The Singapore human mutation and polymorphism database,similarity:Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.,similarity:Contains 1 PLAT domain.,
