Rat apolipoprotein C-II lacks the conserved site for proteolytic cleavage of the pro-form.
Apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) plays a critical role in the metabolism of plasma lipoproteins as an activator for lipoprotein lipase. Human apoC-II consists of 79 amino acid residues (pro-apoC-II). A minor fraction is converted to a mature form by cleavage at the site QQDE releasing the 6 amino-termi...
