Apolipoprotein A-I, Recombinant, Human (Apolipoprotein A-I Precursor, Apolipoprotein AI, Apo AI, Apo A-I, ApoA-I, APOA1, APOA1/APOC3 Fusion Gene, Ltw-1, Lvtw-1, MGC117399)

ApoA-I is a 28.2kD protein produced in the liver and intestine, and secreted as the predominant constituent of nascent high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particle. ApoA-I, which is found exclusively in HDL, has a unique ability to capture and solubilize free cholesterol. This apoA-I ability enables HDL to remove excess peripheral cholesterol and return it to the liver for recycling and excretion. This process, called reverse cholesterol transport, is though to inhibit atherogenesis. For this reason HDL is also known as the пїЅgood cholesterol.пїЅ The therapeutic potential of apoA-I has been recently assessed in patients with acute coronary syndromes, using a recombinant form of a naturally occurring variant of apoA-I (called apoA-I Milano). The availability of recombinant normal apoA-I should facilitate further investigation into the potential usefulness of apoA-I in preventing atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Recombinant human ApoA-I is a 28.2kD protein of 244aa.\n\nSource:\nRecombinant protein corresponding to human ApoA-I, expressed in E. coli.\n\nEndotoxin Level:\n<0.1ng/g (1EU/ug)\n\nAA Sequence:\nMDEPPQSPWD RVKDLATVYV DVLKDSGRDY VSQFEGSALG KQLNLKLLDN WDSVTSTFSK LREQLGPVTQ EFWDNLEKET EGLRQEMSKD LEEVKAKVQP YLDDFQKKWQ EEMELYRQKV EPLRAELQEG ARQKLHELQE KLSPLGEEMR DRARAHVDAL RTHLAPYSDE LRQRLAARLE ALKENGGARL AEYHAKATEH LSTLSEKAKP ALEDLRQGLL PVLESFKVSF LSALEEYTKK LNTQ\n\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at -20 degrees C.
