apoprotein

apoprotein
When a protein can exist as a complex between polypeptide and a second moiety of non-polypeptide nature, the term apo-protein is sometimes used to refer to the molecule divested of the latter. For example, ferritin lacking its ferric hydroxide core may be referred to as apoferritin.
