<unk>  gene encodes<unk> , which is expressed in the heart, muscle, and adipose tissue.<unk>  functions as a homodimer, and has the dual functions of triglyceride hydrolase and ligand/bridging factor for receptor-mediated<unk>  uptake. Through catalysis, VLDL is converted to IDL and then to LDL. Severe mutations that cause<unk>  deficiency result in type I hyperlipoproteinemia, while less extreme mutations in<unk>  are linked to many disorders of<unk>  metabolism.
