Apolipoprotein C1

Index Apolipoprotein C1

Apolipoprotein C-I is a protein component of lipoproteins that in humans is encoded by the APOC1 gene. [1]

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Apolipoprotein

Apolipoproteins are proteins that bind lipids (oil-soluble substances such as fat and cholesterol) to form lipoproteins.

Apolipoprotein C

In the field of molecular biology, apolipoprotein C is a family of four low molecular weight apolipoproteins, designated as C-I, C-II, C-III, and C-IV that are surface components of chylomicrons, VLDL, and HDL.

Cholesterylester transfer protein

Cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), also called plasma lipid transfer protein, is a plasma protein that facilitates the transport of cholesteryl esters and triglycerides between the lipoproteins.

Electric charge

Electric charge is the physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when placed in an electromagnetic field.

Gene

In biology, a gene is a sequence of DNA or RNA that codes for a molecule that has a function.

High-density lipoprotein

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) are one of the five major groups of lipoproteins.

Lipoprotein

A lipoprotein is a biochemical assembly whose purpose is to transport hydrophobic lipid (a.k.a. fat) molecules in water, as in blood or extracellular fluid.

Macrophage

Macrophages (big eaters, from Greek μακρός (makrós).

Monocyte

Monocytes are a type of leukocyte, or white blood cell.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
