This technology includes apoE-apoCII chimeric peptides that possess the ability to lower the triglyceride level both in vitro and in vivo. These peptides can be used for treating hypertriglyceridemia and alleviating other diseases and conditions associated with increased triglycerides.

Commercial Applications
Treatment for hypertriglyceridemia.

Competitive Advantages
The peptide sequence is novel and is the first example of an apoC-11 mimetic peptide that contains an additional motif based on ApoE that enhances removal of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.
