Preferred Label : apolipoprotein c-iii;
MeSH definition : A 9-kDa protein component of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS and CHYLOMICRON REMNANTS.
Apo C-III, synthesized in the liver, is an inhibitor of LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE. Apo C-III
modulates the binding of chylomicron remnants and VLDL to receptors (RECEPTORS, LDL)
thus decreases the uptake of triglyceride-rich particles by the liver cells and subsequent
degradation. The normal Apo C-III is glycosylated. There are several polymorphic forms
with varying amounts of SIALIC ACID (Apo C-III-0, Apo C-III-1, and Apo C-III-2).;
