Anti-Apolipoprotein CIII/APOC3 Antibody Picoband® (Cy3 Conjugate)

Apolipoprotein C-III, also known as apo-CIII, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APOC3 gene. Apo-CIII is a component of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). APOC3 inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase; it is thought to delay catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles. The APOA1, APOC3 and APOA4 genes are closely linked in both rat and human genomes. The A-I and A-IV genes are transcribed from the same strand, while the A-1 and C-III genes are convergently transcribed. An increase in apoC-III levels induces the development of hypertriglyceridemia.

E. coli-derived human Apolipoprotein CIII recombinant protein (Position: S21-A99). Human Apolipoprotein CIII shares 55.3% and 54.3% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Apolipoprotein CIII, respectively.
