In addition to LTIP, other proteins in the apolipoprotein family were found to be differentially expressed: post-translational modification of apolipoprotein J and decreased expression of apolipoproteins C-III and E. Apolipoprotein J is a glycoprotein chaperone associated with elastic fibres in liver fibrosis and cirrhosis [26]. The gene discussed is APOC3; the disease is Hepatic fibrosis.
