It requires [[Apo-CII]] as a cofactor. <ref name="pmid16314153">{{cite journal |author=Kim SY, Park SM, Lee ST |title=Apolipoprotein C-II is a novel substrate for matrix metalloproteinases |journal=Biochem.

LPL functions as a homodimer, and has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated lipoprotein uptake. Severe mutations that cause LPL deficiency result in type I hyperlipoproteinemia, while less extreme mutations in LPL are linked to many disorders of lipoprotein metabolism.<ref>{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: LPL lipoprotein lipase| url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=4023| accessdate = }}</ref> }} ==Regulation== [[Insulin]] is known to enhance LPL synthesis in [[adipocytes]] and its placement in the capillary endothelium. LPL has different [[isozymes]] in different tissues. The form that is in [[adipocytes]] is activated by [[insulin]], whereas that in muscle and [[myocardium]] is not. This helps to explain why adipose cells gain fat in a well-fed state. ==Pathology== [[Lipoprotein lipase deficiency]] leads to [[hypertriglyceridemia]] (elevated levels of [[triglyceride]]s in the bloodstream).<ref name="pmid17706445">{{cite journal |author=Okubo M, Horinishi A, Saito M, ''et al'' |title=A novel complex deletion-insertion mutation mediated by Alu repetitive elements leads to lipoprotein lipase deficiency |journal=Mol.
