In mice lacking glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1), the LPL secreted by adipocytes and myocytes remains bound to heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) on all cells within tissues. That observation raises a perplexing issue: Why isn't the freshly secreted LPL in wild-type mice captured by the same HSPGs, thereby preventing LPL from reaching GPIHBP1 on capillaries? We hypothesized that LPL-HSPG interactions are transient, allowing the LPL to ...[more]
