Abstract excerpt
Five natural mutations of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoA-I(A95D), apoA-I(Y100H), apoA-I(E110K), apoA-I(V156E) and apoA-I(H162Q), were studied for their ability to activate lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT). Mutants apoA-I(E110K), apoA-I(V156E) and apoA-I(H162Q) had an impaired ability to activate LCAT. Combined with data on other apoA-I mutants this finding is consistent with the idea that the...
