All people, and animals, have apolipoproteins. These are a family of proteins that perform many functions in your body. Most help carry fats throughout your bloodstream and are related to your cholesterol level.
Some apolipoproteins have been linked to diseases, depending on the particular variant of protein. For example, apoE may be related to Alzheimer's dementia and apoA-I may be protective against heart disease.
A doctor may be able to order a laboratory test to determine the variant of a certain protein you have. However, it may be expensive, unavailable or unnecessary.

What do lipase in the large intestines do?
The chylomicrons are capable of transporting dietary triacyglycerols from the intestine to peripheral tissues. The liloprotein lipases can hydrolyze triacylglycerols. The remnants are then taken up by the liver with the aid of the apolipoprotein apoE and these remants are degraded in the liver.The very low density lipoprotein tansports triacyglycerols from the liver to peripheral tissues instead. When it is hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase, it loses the triacyglycerols and gets transformed into low density lipoproteins.
