ID:APOC1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Apolipoprotein C-I; Short=Apo-CIB; Short=ApoC-IB; AltName: Full=Apolipoprotein C1; Contains: RecName: Full=Truncated apolipoprotein C-I; Short=Apo-CIB'; Short=ApoC-IB'; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Appears to modulate the interaction of APOE with beta- migrating VLDL and inhibit binding of beta-VLDL to the LDL receptor-related protein. Binds free fatty acids and reduces their intracellular esterification. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Synthesized mainly in liver and to a minor degree in intestine. Secreted in plasma. MISCELLANEOUS: Apolipoprotein C-I is present in acidic (APOC1A) and basic (APOC1B) forms in P.paniscus, P.abelii and P.troglodytes and perhaps also in baboons and macaques. In human, the acidic form has become a pseudogene. Apo-CI makes up about 10% of the protein of the VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) and 2% of that of HDL (high density lipoprotein). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the apolipoprotein C1 family. WEB RESOURCE: Name=Wikipedia; Note=Apolipoprotein C1 entry; URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apolipoprotein_C1";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
