IDENTIFICATION AND METABOLIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN APOLIPOPROTEIN C-II VARIANT ISOLATED FROM A HYPERTRIGLYCERIDEMIC SUBJECT.

Identification and metabolic characteristics of an apolipoprotein C-II variant isolated from a hypertriglyceridemic subject.

The very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) apolipoproteins from a Type IV hypertriglyceridemic Caucasian subject (plasma TG: 645 mg/dl) and his brother (plasma TG: 328 mg/dl) were separated by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis (IEF) USB Parallel Adaptor Cable and found to contain two isoforms of apoC-II, identified by immunoblot.These correspon
