APOC1P1
Description
The APOC1P1 (apolipoprotein C1 pseudogene 1) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 19.
The APOC1 gene encodes a protein that is a component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles. APOC1 plays a role in the metabolism of lipids, particularly the transport of cholesterol and triglycerides. It is also involved in the activation of lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), an enzyme that plays a role in the formation of HDL. Variants in the APOC1 gene have been associated with altered lipid levels and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.
