[Apolipoprotein C gene and molecular biology].
The biological structure and function of genes encoding the polypeptide components of apolipoprotein C are of importance because of the central role they play in the regulation of triglycerides rich lipoprotein metabolism. On this paper, we summarized the current knowledge of apolipoprotein C-I, C-II and C-III gene and the molecular structure. An improved understanding of the structural relationship of apolipoprotein C will help elucidating the mechanism of triglycerides metabolism.
