Two copies of the human apolipoprotein C-I gene are linked closely to the apolipoprotein E gene.

Structure of the hepatic control region of the human apolipoprotein E/C-I gene locus.

The specificity of expression in the liver of the human apolipoprotein (apo) E/C-I gene locus is determined by a hepatic control region (HCR) that is located 15 kilobases downstream of the apoE gene. DNase I footprint studies of this sequence using nuclear extracts identified a region of the HCR that is enriched in nuclear protein-binding sites. Nuclease analysis of chromatin revealed liver-spe...

The Effect of Training Type on Hepatic Gene expressions of Apolipoprotein A‐I, and Apolipoprotein A‐II among Male Wistar Rats

Introdaction: Lipid metabolism disorders, especially raised levels of cholesterol and triglycerides increases the risk of atherosclerosis. This study aimed to investigate the effect of training type including submaximal continuous and high-intensity interval training on hepatic gene expression of Apolipoprotein A‐I, and Apolipoprotein A‐II in male Wistar rats.   Materials & Methods: This exper...

Apolipoprotein C-i and Apolipoprotein E Production during Adipocyte Differentiation

SstI Polymorphism of the Apolipoprotein CIII Gene in Iranian Hyperlipidemic Patients: A Study in Semnan Province

Objective(s) The Sst-I polymorphic site on the 3' untranslated region of the apo CIII gene, has been previously reported to be associated with hypertriglyceridemia. The aim of the present study was to explore the association between Sst-I polymorphism with plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels in hyperlipidemic (HLP) patients from Semnan province, Iran. Materials and Methods Genomic DNA was pr...

A common Hpa I RFLP of apolipoprotein C-I increases gene transcription and exhibits an ethnically distinct pattern of linkage disequilibrium with the alleles of apolipoprotein E.

Apolipoprotein (apo) C-I is a constituent of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TGRL) that interferes with their hepatic clearance. Functional polymorphism in the apoC-I gene has not been established. We determined that an Hpa I site variably present at -317 relative to the apoC-I gene is produced by a 4-bp CGTT insertion. The apoC-I Hpa I alleles showed an ethnically distinct pattern of linkage d...
