  • NOVEL APOC-I ISOFORMS AND THEIR USE AS BIOMARKERS AND RISK FACTORS OF ATHEROSCLEROTIC DISEASE
    Publication number: 20140193846
    Abstract: Novel isoforms of apolipoprotein C-I (apoC-I), namely apolipoprotein C-I1 (apoC-I1) and apolipoprotein C-I1? (apoC-I1?), both of which have a molecular weight of approximately 90 daltons greater than native apolipoprotein C-I (SEQ ID NO:6) and native apolipoprotein C-I? (SEQ ID NO:7), are shown to be both biomarkers for diagnosing atherosclerotic disease as well as risk factors for subjects having increased risk of developing an atherosclerotic disease.
