| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the insect apolipophorin-3 family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Hemolymph. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Assists in the loading of diacylglycerol; generated from triacylglycerol stores in the fat body through the action of adipokinetic hormone; into lipophorin; the hemolymph lipoprotein. It increases the lipid carrying capacity of lipophorin by covering the expanding hydrophobic surface resulting from diacylglycerol uptake. It thus plays a critical role in the transport of lipids during flight in several species of insects. |
