Research Notes on Apolipoproteins
Apolipoproteins are classified as plasma lipoproteins and work by metabolizing lipids (fats) through the blood. This process is important to create energy to the heart, muscles, and organs.1 The major types of apolipoproteins include apoE, apoB, apoA-I, apoA-II, apoA-IV, apoC-I, apoC-II, and apoC-III.2
Fast Facts:
- Each type of lipoprotein carries different metabolic functions for transport and redistribution in various cells and tissues.2
- ApoA-I is the main protein in high-density lipoprotein (HDL). It is synthesized in the liver and intestine.3
- An increase of apoC-III has been linked to hypertriglyceridemia.4
- Multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease may be linked to a disorder with apo-E.4
