Severe hypertriglyceridemia was previously observed in mink. Affected animals had no detectable lipoprotein lipase activity, but normal amounts of lipoprotein lipase protein in post-heparin plasma. We have now cloned cDNA for lipoprotein lipase from normal mink and identified a single point mutation in the affected animals which most likely explains the deficiency of active lipase. The mutation is located in exon 6 and results in a Pro214Leu substitution. In heterozygote mink the levels of lipoprotein lipase activity and mass in post-heparin plasma were lower than in normal mink, but could not be used to identify carriers of the mutation. In some tissues (heart, muscle, kidney and lung), lipoprotein lipase activity was decreased to about 50%. In adipose tissue there seemed to be a mechanism to compensate for the mutation, resulting in increased mass and approximately the same activity of lipoprotein lipase as in animals not carrying the mutation. Mink had high lipoprotein lipase activity and mass in kidneys, although the levels of mRNA in kidney were many fold lower than in adipose tissue. Mink had very low levels of cholesteryl ester transfer protein activity in plasma. This may contribute to the high levels of HDL in this animal species.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008071 Lipoprotein Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols. It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type I.

D008072 Hyperlipoproteinemia Type I An inherited condition due to a deficiency of either LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE or APOLIPOPROTEIN C-II (a lipase-activating protein). The lack of lipase activities results in inability to remove CHYLOMICRONS and TRIGLYCERIDES from the blood which has a creamy top layer after standing.
