Abstract excerpt
Human apolipoprotein C-IV (apoC-IV, protein; APOC4, gene) is a new member of the APO E/C1/C2 gene cluster. In transgenic mice, human apoC-IV is predominantly associated with very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and thus may play an important role in lipid metabolism. To our knowledge, the extent and nature of APOC4 genetic variation and its role in lipid metabolism are unknown. In this study we have assessed the...
