Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP01987
Secondary Accession Numbers
  • 7425
Name Apolipoprotein C-III precursor
Synonyms
  1. Apo-CIII
  2. ApoC-III
Gene Name APOC3
Protein Type Transporter
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific 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
