| apolipoprotein B-48 | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in chylomicrons and chylomicron remnants. Retained in intestine of individuals with chylomicron retention disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| apolipoprotein C-I | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apolipoprotein C-II | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons; an activator of lipoprotein lipase; a deficiency will result in accumulation of chylomicrons and triacylglycerols. Apolipoproteins are proteins on the surface of the lipoprotein complex that bind to specific enzymes or transport proteins across the cell membrane. Elevated levels may be seen in acute angina and acute myocardial infarction. Low levels are seen in apolipoprotein C-II deficiency. Normal levels are seen in type I hyperlipoproteinaemia.

| apolipoprotein C-III | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in VLDL, HDL, and chylomicrons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apolipoprotein D | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in HDL whose function is unclear. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apolipoprotein E | <biochemistry> An apolipoprotein found in VLDL, HDL, chylomicrons, and chylomicron remnants. Elevated in individuals with type III hyperlipoproteinaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| apolipoprotein N-acyltransferase | <enzyme> From e. Coli; catalyses the conversion of apolipoprotein to mature lipoprotein Registry number: EC 2.3.1.- Synonym: alp n-acyltransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
