Abstract
The triglyceride lipase gene family plays a central role in intestinal lipid absorption, energy homeostasis, lipoprotein metabolism, and atherosclerosis. A new member of this gene family, termed endothelial lipase, was recently reported. The presence of key functional motifs, the endothelial synthesis, the enzymatic profile, and the in-vivo metabolic effects of endothelial lipase suggest that, like other members of this gene family, endothelial lipase may play a role in energy delivery to tissues and in modulating lipoprotein metabolism, and could impact on atherogenesis.
