Abstract excerpt
ApoAI Milano (AI(M)) and apoAI Paris (AI(P)) are mutant forms of apoAI in which cysteine is substituted for arginine at residues 173 and 151 respectively leading to the formation of homodimers and heterodimers with apoAII. Heterozygous subjects with these mutants are characterized by low levels of plasma HDL cholesterol and apoAI. The present study analyzed the metabolism of the different complexes of apoAI in...
