Description
Product Characteristics:
APOB48R is a macrophage receptor that binds to the apolipoprotein B48 of dietary triglyceride (TG) rich lipoproteins. It may provide essential lipids, lipid soluble vitamins and other nutrients to reticuloendothelial cells.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: apo b-100, APOB, apoB-48R, apoB-100R, apoB100R, Apolipoprotein B-100 receptor, Apolipoprotein B100 receptor, Apolipoprotein B48 receptor.
Target Information: Apolipoprotein B48 receptor is a macrophage receptor that binds to the apolipoprotein B48 of dietary triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins. This receptor may provide essential lipids, lipid-soluble vitamins and other nutrients to reticuloendothelial cells. If overwhelmed with elevated plasma triglyceride, the apolipoprotein B48 receptor may contribute to foam cell formation, endothelial dysfunction, and atherothrombogenesis.
