General annotation (Comments)

Function

Crucial for the intracellular hydrolysis of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides that have been internalized via receptor-mediated endocytosis of lipoprotein particles. Important in mediating the effect of LDL (low density lipoprotein) uptake on suppression of hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase and activation of endogenous cellular cholesteryl ester formation.

Catalytic activity

A steryl ester + H2O = a sterol + a fatty acid.

Subcellular location

Lysosome.

Involvement in disease

Defects in LIPA are the cause of Wolman disease (WOD) [MIM:278000]. WOD is a severe manifestation of LIPA deficiency, leading to the accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in most tissues of the body. WOD occurs in infancy and is nearly always fatal before the age of 1 year.

Defects in LIPA are the cause of cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) [MIM:278000]. CESD is a mild manifestation of LIPA deficiency, leading to the accumulation of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides in most tissues of the body. It is characterized by late-onset. Ref.11 Ref.12

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Lipase family.
