This gene encodes a member of the apolipoprotein C1 family. This gene is expressed primarily in the liver, and it is activated when monocytes differentiate into macrophages. The encoded protein plays a central role in high density lipoprotein (HDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) metabolism. This protein has also been shown to inhibit cholesteryl ester transfer protein in plasma. A pseudogene of this gene is located 4 kb downstream in the same orientation, on the same chromosome. This gene is mapped to chromosome 19, where it resides within a apolipoprotein gene cluster. Alternative splicing and the use of alternative promoters results in multiple transcript variants.

Recapitulate disease phenotypes

Endogenous knock-in cell lines enable a clear understanding of a gene or mutation’s contribution to a phenotype including conditional knockouts to model human disease

Confirm your results

We provide truly isogenic cell line pairs. Each cell model comes with the parental cell line as an additional control

Knockout and knock-in models

Our knock in models have more complex genetic modifications such as:

  • insertions
  • base pair changes
  • deletions
  • truncations
  • FLAG-tagged proteins for purification

Proven models

Our catalog of cell lines has become a gold-standard resourceciteab-award-cell-line-supplier-to-watch-in-cancer-research in antibody validation, cancer research, and early drug-discovery research. Horizon was recently recognized by CiteAb as the Cell Line Supplier to Watch in Cancer Research for 2024. Read more about the CiteAb award.
