Genetic variation in the apolipoprotein D gene among African blacks and its significance in lipid metabolism.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Aug 2002

Desai Purnima P, Bunker Clareann H, Ukoli Flora A M, Kamboh M Ilyas

Abstract excerpt

Apolipoprotein D (APOD, gene; apoD, protein) is a plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated glycoprotein, with a putative role in the cholesterol (CHOL) transport pathway. An apoD protein polymorphism has been previously reported by us. The cathodically shifted pattern seen on isoelectric focusing gels, controlled by the APOD*2 allele, was found to be unique to populations of African ancestry. To...
