glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1

Synonyms:

GPI-HBP1, HYPL1D, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high density lipoprotein-binding protein 1, GPI anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1, GPI-anchored HDL-binding protein 1, endothelial cell LPL transporter

Genomic Location:

Chr 8: 144366443-144370418

Description:

This gene encodes a capillary endothelial cell protein that facilitates the lipolytic processing of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The encoded protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein that is a member of the lymphocyte antigen 6 (Ly6) family. This protein plays a major role in transporting lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from the subend...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a capillary endothelial cell protein that facilitates the lipolytic processing of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The encoded protein is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein that is a member of the lymphocyte antigen 6 (Ly6) family. This protein plays a major role in transporting lipoprotein lipase (LPL) from the subendothelial spaces to the capillary lumen. Mutations in this gene are the cause of hyperlipoproteinemia, type 1D. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
