Gene information for APOL3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80833
Official gene symbolAPOL3
Full nameapolipoprotein L, 3
Aliases,APOLIII,CG121,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the apolipoprotein L gene family, and it is present in a cluster with other family members on chromosome 6. The encoded protein is found in the cytoplasm, where it may affect the movement of lipids, including cholesterol, and/or allow the binding of lipids to organelles. In addition, expression of this gene is up-regulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha in endothelial cells lining the normal and atherosclerotic iliac artery and aorta. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
