Apolipoproteins C
Lipoproteins located on the surface of VLDL. They are transferred to HDL throughout the catabolism of VLDL and affect lipoprotein lipase activity. A genetic lack of Apo C-II results in hyperglyceridemia and low levels of HDL. Another form of hyperglyceridemia with normal Apo C-II levels is caused by a high concentration of Apo C-III in VLDL.
