Also Known as APOB48R; APOB100R
Species: Homo sapiens
About APOBR
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 82 orthologues. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 19.1), spleen (RPKM 14.5) and 12 other tissues.
Summary
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.
