MeSH definition : A 6.6-kDa protein component of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS; INTERMEDIATE-DENSITY
LIPOPROTEINS; and HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS. Apo C-I displaces APO E from lipoproteins,
modulate their binding to receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL), and thereby decrease their clearance
from plasma. Elevated Apo C-I levels are associated with HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA and
ATHEROSCLEROSIS.;
MeSH synonym : apolipoprotein c1; apo c i; Apo C-I; apolipoprotein C I;
MeSH hyponym : apolipoprotein C-I precursor; Apolipoprotein C I Precursor; Apo C-I Precursor; Apo C I Precursor; Pre Apo C-I; Pre Apo C I;
