Background
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored high density lipoprotein-binding protein 1 (GPIHBP1) is a member of the Ly6 family of proteins, binds LPL in the subendothelial spaces and transports it to the capillary lumen. GPIHBP1 is an important regulator of triglyceride metabolism by increasing the efficiency of lydrolysis by LPL and uptake of fatty acids. GPIHBP1 was positively correlated with LPL, and GPIHBP1 is a better marker for body weight decrease than LPL.
