APOC2 is a protein that plays a crucial role in lipid metabolism and transport within the body. It is primarily produced in the liver and is involved in the assembly and secretion of lipoproteins, which are responsible for carrying fats and cholesterol through the bloodstream. This protein is part of the apolipoprotein family, which helps regulate the levels of lipids in the blood. Abnormal levels of APOC2 can be associated with various health issues, including cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders, highlighting its importance in maintaining overall health.
