Entrez ID 344
Gene name Apolipoprotein C2
Gene symbol APOC2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
APO-CIIAPOC-II
Chromosome 19
Chromosome location 19q13.32
Summary This gene encodes a lipid-binding protein belonging to the apolipoprotein gene family. The protein is secreted in plasma where it is a component of very low density lipoprotein. This protein activates the enzyme lipoprotein lipase, which hydrolyzes trigly
