Knowledge of the molecular structure and interactions of the lipases is expanding rapidly. Lipase activities are regulated by modulation of messenger RNA levels and by incompletely defined post-translational mechanisms. Evidence is growing that lipoprotein lipase acts not only as a hydrolytic enzyme, but also as a ligand that targets lipoprotein for binding to cell-surface heparan sulphate and to receptors.
