MeSH Heading: Apolipoprotein C-II
Tree Number(s): D10.532.091.400.750; D12.776.070.400.400.750; D12.776.521.120.400.750
Unique ID: D053304
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D053304
Scope Note: A 9-kDa protein component of VERY-LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS. It contains a cofactor for LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE and activates several triacylglycerol lipases. The association of Apo C-II with plasma CHYLOMICRONS; VLDL, and HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS is reversible and changes rapidly as a function of triglyceride metabolism. Clinically, Apo C-II deficiency is similar to lipoprotein lipase deficiency (HYPERLIPOPROTEINEMIA TYPE I) and is therefore called hyperlipoproteinemia type IB.
