?
PLAT/ LH2 domain present in connection with a lipase domain. This family contains two major subgroups, the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and the pancreatic triglyceride lipase. LPL is a key enzyme in catabolism of plasma lipoprotein triglycerides (TGs). The central role of triglyceride lipases is in energy production. In general, PLAT/LH2 domain's proposed function is to mediate interaction with lipids or membrane bound proteins.
