CLPS

Description

The CLPS (colipase) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 6.

CLPS may refer to Colipase, a protein that plays a key role in fat digestion.

Colipase acts as a cofactor for pancreatic lipase, facilitating its attachment to the lipid-water interface. The presence of colipase prevents the enzyme from being washed away by bile salts, which have an inhibitory effect on pancreatic lipase.

CLPS is also known as -.
