APOA5 is probably the gene with the strongest effect on triglyceride (TG) metabolism. APOA5 is almost exclusively expressed in the liver, and its product apoAV has a very low circulating concentration. New physiological roles of apoAV have been recently elucidated, such as control of chylomicron production in the intestine and TG accumulation in adipose tissue.The key role of APOA5 in TG metabolism has been largely shown through genetic studies in association with either severe or moderate hypertriglyceridemia.
