| - | Lipoprotein Lipase functions to catalyze the hydrolysis of one [ | + | Lipoprotein Lipase functions to catalyze the hydrolysis of one [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ester ester bond] of triglycerides in order to remove one fatty acid tail and turn the triglyceride into a diglyceride. It does this by utilizing a simple [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serine_hydrolase serine hydrolase] mechanism, in which it uses a <scene name='87/877513/Catalytic_triad-1/6'>catalytic triad</scene> composed of Asp183, His268, and Ser159 to catalyze the hydrolysis. His268 serves as a base catalyst by deprotonation of Ser159, which can then serve as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleophile nucleophile] to attack the carbonyl carbon of one of the fatty acid chains of a triglyceride. This forms a tetrahedral intermediate, which is stabilized by the amide of Trp82 and Leu160 residues, called the <scene name='87/877513/Oxyanion_hole_-_labeled/9'>oxyanion hole</scene>. The single fatty acid chain is cleaved from the triglyceride, forming the diglyceride product. Then, water is used to free the fatty acid from Ser159 and return all of the residues back to their starting point, in order to perform the mechanism again on another triglyceride. Ultimately, the hydrolysis results in the formation of one free fatty acid and glycerol with two fatty acid tails (Figure 2). |

LPL breaks down triglycerides carried in chylomicrons, otherwise known as very-low-density lipoproteins ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very_low-density_lipoprotein VLDL]).

A mutation that is believed to cause chylomicronemia is known as <scene name='87/877513/M404_mutation_site/2'>M404R</scene>. Within this mutation, the methionine is replaced with a large and hydrophilic arginine. While this missense mutation does not impact LPL secretion, it does affect the formation of the LPL-GPIHBP1 complex by disrupting LPL’s interaction with GPIHB1’s Val121, Glu122, Thr124, and Val126 residues. This disrupts the stabilization of the LPL-GPIHBP1 complex, which has been seen to negatively affect LPL’s ability to catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides. |
