Abstract

cDNA clones corresponding to the entire coding region of mature lipoprotein lipase were identified by antibody screening of a mouse macrophage library and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence indicates that the mature protein contains 447 amino acids with a molecular weight of 50,314. Comparison of the nucleotide and amino acid sequence with those of rat hepatic lipase and porcine pancreatic lipase reveals extensive homology among the enzymes, indicating that they are members of a gene family of lipases. Most striking is a conservation of five disulfide bridges in all three enzymes, strongly suggesting that the enzymes have similar overall folding patterns. Lipoprotein lipase is also shown to be extraordinarily conserved among mouse, human, and bovine species. The mRNA for lipoprotein lipase is abundant in heart and adipose tissue but is also present in a wide variety of other tissues. There are two major species of mRNA in mouse and human tissues examined, 3.6 and 3.4 kilobases (kb) in size. Rat tissues, on the other hand, contain only the 3.6-kb species while bovine tissues contain an additional 1.7-kb species.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
