Gene: APOC4

Alternate names for this Gene: APO-CIV|APOC-IV

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a lipid-binding protein belonging to the apolipoprotein gene family. The protein is thought to play a role in lipid metabolism. Polymorphisms in this gene may influence circulating lipid levels and may be associated with coronary artery disease risk. This gene is present in a cluster with other related apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 19. Naturally occurring read-through transcription exists between this gene and the neighboring downstream apolipoprotein C-II (APOC2) gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.32

Description of this Gene: apolipoprotein C4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
