Apolipoprotein A I Antibody / APOA1

Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT

Optimal dilution of the APOA1 antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Apolipoproteins are protein components of plasma lipoproteins. The human apoA-I gene encodes a single chain, 243 amino acid protein which promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion. Apolipoprotein A-I is the major protein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in the plasma. It can function as a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT), which is responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. The human apoA-II gene encodes the second most abundant protein of HDL particles, where it influences plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFA). The human apoA-IV gene encodes a 396 amino acid preprotein, which after proteolytic processing is secreted from the intestine in association with chylomicron particles. ApoA-IV is a potent activator of LCAT in vitro. The human apoA-V gene encodes a 366 amino acid protein that is believed to be an important determinant of plasma triglyceride levels.

Purified

1 mg/ml in 1X PBS; BSA free, sodium azide free

A portion of amino acids 83-167 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the APOA1 antibody.

This APOA1 antibody is available for research use only.
