All of the following statements about Lipoprotein Lipase are true, except:
Apo CII is needed for the activation of lipoprotein lipase. Lipoprotein lipase activated by apo CII on circulating lipoprotein paicles, hydrolyzes the triacylglycerol contained in these paicles to yield fatty acid and glycerol. Ref: Biochemistry By Richard A. Harvey, Denise R. Ferrier, Pages 228-9
