Figure 5. LPL and other related proteins supporting or inhibiting this enzyme acting in endothelial cells (from Olivecrona with permission20)). In the last decade, some of these genes and their proteins have shown considerable influence on the risk of coronary artery disease, suggesting a causal effect.
ANGPTL = angiopoietin-like protein; ECM = extracellular matrix; FFA = free fatty acid; HSPG = heparan sulfate proteoglycan; GPIHBP1 = glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1; LMF1 = lipase maturation factor 1; LPL = lipoprotein lipase; Sel1L = sel-1 suppressor of lin-12-like 1; TRL = triglyceride-rich lipoprotein.
