Anti-Apolipoprotein C-III (GOAT) Antibody - - 1 mg

Anti Apolipoprotein C-III antibody recognizes the gene product of APOC. Apolipoprotein C-III is a protein component of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL). APOC3 inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase; it is thought to inhibit hepatic uptake 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. This antibody is suitable for cardiovascular research.
