title: Glycosylation of lipoprotein lipase in human subcutaneous and omental adipose tissues.
abstract: Human adipose tissues from the abdomen (subcutaneous), thigh (subcutaneous) and omentum were incubated for 2 h with [35S]methionine. Then glycosylation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) was analyzed by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of endoglycosidase H (endo H)-digested subunits of the 35S-labeled lipase. Adipose tissues from the abdomen, thigh, and omentum all synthesized LPL subunits with Mr = 57,000 composed of two types of subunits. One type was partially endo H-sensitive yielding a product with Mr = 55,000, indicating that it had one endo H-resistant and one endo H-sensitive oligosaccharide chain. The other type of subunit was totally endo H-sensitive yielding a product with Mr = 52,000. Subcutaneous adipose tissues contained nearly equal amounts of partially and totally endo H-sensitive subunits of LPL, whereas omental adipose tissues contained mainly partially endo H-sensitive subunits of LPL.
