CC   -!- FUNCTION: Assists in the loading of diacylglycerol, generated from
CC       triacylglycerol stores in the fat body through the action of
CC       adipokinetic hormone, into lipophorin, the hemolymph lipoprotein. It
CC       increases the lipid carrying capacity of lipophorin by covering the
CC       expanding hydrophobic surface resulting from diacylglycerol uptake. It
CC       thus plays a critical role in the transport of lipids during flight in
CC       several species of insects. Has antibacterial activity against the
CC       Gram-positive bacteria L.monocytogenes (MIC=6.5 uM). Lacks
CC       antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria B.circulans,
CC       M.luteus, S.aureus, and S.lutea, and the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli
CC       D31, E.coli ATCC 25922, and S.typhimurium. Lacks antifungal activity
CC       against S.cerevisiae, P.pastoris, Z.marxianus, C.albicans,
CC       C.wickerhamii, A.niger, F.oxysporum, and T.harizianum.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17194500}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Equilibrium between a soluble monomer and a bound lipoprotein
CC       form. Apolipophorin-3 associates with lipophorin during lipid loading
CC       until each particle contains 9 or 14 molecules of apolipophorin-3.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17194500,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:29289504}. Note=Secreted into hemolymph.
CC       {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29289504}.
CC   -!- TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in hemolymph (PubMed:17194500,
CC       PubMed:29289504). Also found in hemocytes and fat body
CC       (PubMed:29289504). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17194500,
CC       ECO:0000269|PubMed:29289504}.
CC   -!- INDUCTION: By bacterial infection. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17194500}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the insect apolipophorin-3 family.
CC       {ECO:0000305}.
