Liver

Apob

Apolipoprotein B-100

Apolipoprotein B is a major protein constituent of chylomicrons (apo B-48), LDL (apo B-100) and VLDL (apo B-100). Apo B-100 functions as a recognition signal for the cellular binding and internalization of LDL particles by the apoB/E receptor

Down

Hsd17b7

3-keto-steroid reductase

Bifunctional enzyme involved in steroid-hormone metabolism and cholesterol biosynthesis

Down

Mia3

Transport and Golgi organization protein 1 homolog (TANGO1)

Required for secretion of lipoproteins by participating in their export from the endoplasmic reticulum

Down

Pon1

Serum paraoxonase

Major anti-atherosclerotic component of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The PON1 gene is activated by PPAR-γ, which increases synthesis and release of paraoxonase 1 enzyme from the liver, reducing atherosclerosis

Down

Apoh

Beta-2-glycoprotein 1

Binds to various kinds of negatively charged substances such as heparin, phospholipids, and dextran sulfate

Down

Abcc2

Canalicular multispecific organic anion transporter 1

Mediates hepatobiliary excretion of numerous organic anions and conjugated organic anions such as methotrexate, 17beta-estradiol 17-glucosiduronic acid, and leukotriene C4

Down

Scarb2

Lysosome membrane protein 2

Acts as a lysosomal receptor for glucosylceramidase (GBA) targeting

Down

G6pc

Glucose-6-phosphatase

Forms with the glucose-6-phosphate transporter (SLC37A4/G6PT). This complex is responsible for glucose production through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. It is the key enzyme in homeostatic regulation of blood glucose level

Up

EDL

Fmod

Fibromodulin

Affects the rate of fibril formation. Might have a primary role in collagen fibrillogenesis

Up

Myorg

Myogenesis-regulating glycosidase

Promotes myogenesis by activating AKT signaling through maturation and secretion of IG

Up

Dcn

Decorin

Affects the rate of fibril formation

Up

Trdn

Triadin

Contributes to regulation of luminal Ca2 + release via the sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium release channels RYR1 and RYR2, a key step in triggering skeletal and heart muscle contraction

Up

Atp1b2

Sodium/potassium

-transporting ATPase

subunit beta-2

The non-catalytic component of the active enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP coupled with the exchange of Na + and K + ions across the plasma membrane

Up

Tf

Serotransferrin

An iron binding transport protein that can bind two Fe3+ ions in association with the binding of an anion, usually bicarbonate
