Apolipoprotein A I is a human protein with a specific role in lipid metabolism. It binds to lipopolysaccharide or endotoxin, and has a major role in the anti-endotoxin function of HDL. The gene is mapped to 11q23. It is a single polypeptide chain with 243 amino acid residues of known primary amino acid sequence. The protein promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion. It is a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase(LCAT) which is responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. APOA1 was also isolated as a prostacyclin(PGI2) stabilizing factor, and thus may have an anticlotting effect. Defects in the gene encoding it are associated with HDL deficiencies, including Tangier disease, and with systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis. Additionally, APOA1 overexpression promotes macrophage-specific reverse cholesterol transport.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the APOA1 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the N-terminus of human Apolipoprotein A I (YVDVLKDSGRDYVSQFE) was used as the immunogen for this APOA1 antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
After reconstitution, the APOA1 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
