DrugMatrix Gene Data For: 1 Matched Gene
Gene Name: apolipoprotein C-II
Symbol:
Species: 1000
Description: The protein encoded by this gene is secreted in plasma where it is a component of very low density lipoprotein. This protein activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which hydrolyzes triglycerides and thus provides free fatty acids for cells. Mutations in this gene cause hyperlipoproteinemia type IB, characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, and increased risk of pancreatitis and early atherosclerosis.
