Apolipoprotein F (Apo F), also known as lipid transfer inhibitor protein (LTIP) based on its ability to inhibit lipid transfer between lipoproteins, is a protein component of several lipoprotein classes and a physiologic regulator of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) function (1, 2).Apo F activity was reported to be localized to LDL, consistent with its greater inhibitory activity on this lipoprotein.Apo F activity is controlled by its reversible incorporation into an inactive
complex which provides for short-term fine-tuning of lipoprotein remodeling mediated by CETP (1).ApoF overexpression reduces HDL cholesterol levels by increasing clearance of HDL-CE.ApoF may be an important determinant of HDL metabolism and reverse cholesterol
transport (2).
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:2000
Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:250
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
