Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a critical role in the metabolism of circulating triacylglycerols (TAGs) packaged in lipoproteins. Fish have two LPL genes, encoding the LPL1 and LPL2 enzymes, but their functions are not yet clearly understood. To provide a basis for further investigation, we cloned a cDNA encoding LPL from the liver of adult medakaOryzias latipes. The cloned LPL gene was found to share a high identity with LPL1 genes from several fish species and was denoted medaka LPL1. Screening against publicly available medaka expressed sequence tag (EST) databases revealed that LPL1 transcripts are abundant in ESTs from various developmental stages and tissues. The EST screening also identified a second LPL-like gene, denoted medaka LPL2, the transcripts of which were found exclusively in EST libraries from embryonic stages. The LPL1 cDNA obtained by a combination of 3′ and 5′ rapid amplification of cDNA ends was 2,259 bp, with an open reading frame of 1,551 bp encoding 516 amino acids. Quantitative real-time PCR further confirmed the ubiquitous distribution of LPL1 transcripts, with high levels in the liver and visceral adipose tissue, and the lowest level in the intestine. A relatively high expression of the LPL1 gene was also found in the brain, suggesting the potential function of LPL1 in this organ.
