APOB Antibody / Circulating Apolipoprotein B Antibody recognizes apolipoprotein B, a large lipid-binding protein encoded by the APOB gene. ApoB is an essential structural component of several classes of circulating lipoprotein particles and plays a central role in the transport and metabolism of cholesterol, triglycerides, and other lipids. Unlike exchangeable apolipoproteins, ApoB remains associated with the lipoprotein particle on which it is assembled, making it an important marker for studying lipoprotein production, transport, and clearance.
Two major forms of apolipoprotein B are produced in humans. ApoB-100 is the full-length protein and is incorporated into very-low-density lipoprotein during hepatic lipoprotein assembly. It remains associated with particles as VLDL is remodeled into intermediate-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein. ApoB-100 also contains the LDL receptor-binding region required for receptor-mediated uptake of LDL particles and therefore has an important role in cholesterol homeostasis.
ApoB-48 is generated through tissue-specific RNA editing of the APOB transcript, which introduces a premature stop codon and produces a protein corresponding to the N-terminal portion of ApoB-100. ApoB-48 is an essential structural component of chylomicrons and participates in the transport of dietary triglycerides and cholesterol. The production of these two forms allows APOB to participate in both endogenous and intestinal pathways of lipid transport.
Because ApoB is retained on triglyceride-rich and cholesterol-rich lipoprotein particles, circulating apolipoprotein B is widely investigated in studies of lipid metabolism, lipoprotein particle biology, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic regulation. Measurement and characterization of ApoB can provide information complementary to measurements of the lipid components carried within these particles.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this Circulating Apolipoprotein B Antibody for research into APOB expression, lipoprotein biology, and lipid metabolism. An APOB Antibody can support investigation of endogenous apolipoprotein B, lipoprotein assembly and transport, cholesterol homeostasis, and mechanisms associated with APOB-dependent metabolic processes.
