Gene information for GPIHBP1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID338328
Official gene symbolGPIHBP1
Full nameglycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1
Aliases,GPI-HBP1,
Gene summaryDietary fats are packaged by intestine into triglyceride-rich lipoproteins called chylomicrons. The triglycerides in chylomicrons are hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase (LPL: MIM 609708) along the luminal surface of capillaries, mainly in heart, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. GPIHBP1 is a capillary endothelial cell protein that provides a platform for LPL-mediated processing of chylomicrons (Beigneux et al., 2007 [PubMed 17403372]).[supplied by OMIM]
