Native Human ApoC-III

• Cat.No.: ApoC-III-3559H

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: Human Plasma
• Tag: Non
• Description: Apolipoprotein C-III is a very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) protein. APOC3 inhibits lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase; it is thought to delay catabolism of triglyceride-rich particles. The APOA1, APOC3 and APOA4 genes are closely linked in both rat and human genomes. The A-I and A-IV genes are transcribed from the same strand, while the A-1 and C-III genes are convergently transcribed. An increase in apoC-III levels induces the development of hypertriglyceridemia.
• Form: Supplied as a liquid in 10mM NH4HCO3, pH 7.4.
• Molecular Mass: 875 kDa
• Purity: >95% pure by SDS PAGE
• Notes: Small volumes of ApoC-III native protein may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice.
• Storage: Aliquot and store at -70 deg C or lower. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
• Warning: This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
