General description
Apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) is a multifaceted protein, localized on circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). The APOC3 gene is mapped to the human chromosome 11q23.3. It is mainly expressed in hepatocytes and to a lesser extent in enterocytes.
Product Source: Human plasma tested negative for HBsAg and HIV-I, HIV-II, HBc and Hepatitis C antibodies. All blood products should be treated as potentially infectious.
Application
Apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3), human has been used to determine its effect reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (rHDL) containing apoA-I. It has also been used to test the effects of the exogenous exchangeable apolipoproteins on low-density lipoprotein (LDL) binding to heparin.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Apolipoprotein C-III (APOC3) is involved in triglyceride metabolism and atherosclerotic lesion formation. It also regulates pathological processes involved in atherosclerosis. APOC3 stimulates hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) through various mechanisms. It functions as a lipoprotein lipase (LPL) inhibitor and also interrupts the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs)-remnants. Mutations in the gene lead to lower plasma glycerides and lower cardiovascular disease risk.
The physiological role of Apo CIII is unknown. It is suggested that Apo CIII may inhibit the activation of lipoprotein lipase by Apo CII.
Physical form
Liquid in 10 mM NH4HCO3, pH 7.4.
Storage and Stability
Maintain at -20ºC or below in undiluted aliquots for up to 12 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. All blood products should be treated as potentially infectious.

Apolipoprotein (apo) C-III is a marker protein of triacylglycerol (TG)-rich lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins (HDL), and has been proposed as a risk factor of coronary heart disease. To compare the physiologic role of reconstituted HDL (rHDL) with or without apoC-III

Apolipoprotein C-III has been referred to as an important participant in the metabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, leading to hypertriglyceridemia and thereafter cardiovascular disease. Accumulating evidence indicates that apolipoprotein C-III is a multifaceted protein which not only regulates triglyceride metabolism, but

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally. It is well-established based on evidence accrued during the last three decades that high plasma concentrations of cholesterol-rich atherogenic lipoproteins are causatively linked to CVD, and that lowering these reduces

The purpose of this article is to summarize the recent epidemiological, basic science, and pharmaceutical research linking apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) with the development and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). ApoC-III is an important emerging target linking hypertriglyceridemia with CVD. ApoC-III
