| Apolipoproteins C Apo-C | Apo C | ApoC | Apoprotein (C) | Apoproteins C Lipoproteins located on the surface of VLDL. They are transferred to HDL throughout the catabolism of VLDL and affect lipoprotein lipase activity. A genetic lack of Apo C-II results in hyperglyceridemia and low levels of HDL. Another form of hyperglyceridemia with normal Apo C-II levels is caused by a high concentration of Apo C-III in VLDL. |
