Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipid metabolism, crucial for the hydrolysis of triglycerides in lipoproteins and maintaining lipid homeostasis in vertebrates. This study aims to characterize the lipoprotein lipase genes in the tambaqui ( Phylogenetic and syntenic analyses were used to identify the We identified three This study offers new insights into the evolution and functional diversification of lipoprotein lipases in vertebrates, highlighting the complexity of lipid metabolism in fish. These findings contribute to understanding the adaptability of teleost fish to diverse environments and lay the foundation for future research in lipid metabolism regulation, including Neotropical species, with potential applications in aquaculture and conservation.
