Involved in several processes, including lipoprotein transport; negative regulation of oxidative phosphorylation; and positive regulation of triglyceride biosynthetic process. Located in extracellular space. Used to study hyperthyroidism; hypothyroidism; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of cholestasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including apolipoprotein C-III deficiency; chronic kidney disease; familial hyperlipidemia (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and hepatocellular carcinoma. Orthologous to human APOC3 (apolipoprotein C3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
