Apolipoprotein A2 (ApoA2) is a major protein component of serum HDL. It is produced by the liver and is involved in cholesteryl ester formation and cholesterol transport from tissues to the liver. Polymorphisms of ApoA2 are associated with disorders of cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism. ApoA2 can form disulfide-linked 17kD homodimers and heterodimers with other apolipoproteins.
