Global Structure and Dynamics of Human Apolipoprotein CII in Complex with Micelles: Evidence for increased mobility of the helix involved in the activation of lipoprotein lipase
1o8t is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Homo sapiens. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
APOC2_HUMAN Defects in APOC2 are the cause of hyperlipoproteinemia type 1B (HLPP1B) [MIM:207750. It is an autosomal recessive trait characterized by hypertriglyceridemia, xanthomas, and increased risk of pancreatitis and early atherosclerosis.[1]
Function
APOC2_HUMAN Component of the very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) fraction in plasma, and is an activator of several triacylglycerol lipases. The association of APOC2 with plasma chylomicrons, VLDL, and HDL is reversible, a function of the secretion and catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, and changes rapidly.
