Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) is a major protein component of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), chylomicrons, and a minor component of high density lipoproteins (HDL). Studies of naturally occurring human variants of apoC-III will help in adding to our understanding of the physiological fun...
