Gene Symbol

Apoc3

Protein Name

apolipoprotein C-III

Synonyms

apo-CIII; apoC-III;

Species

Mus musculus

Ensembl Protein

ENSMUSP00000113058

InnateDB Gene

IDBG-161220 (Apoc3)

Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase and decreases the uptake of lymph chylomicrons by hepatic cells. This suggests that it delays the catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Mainly VLDL and also in HDL. Synthesized predominantly in liver and to a lesser degree in intestine.
