Opposite regulation of the human apolipoprotein M gene by hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 and Jun transcription factors.

Abstract excerpt

HDL is a negative risk factor for atherosclerosis because of its multiple atheroprotective functions. Inflammation converts HDL particles from anti-atherogenic to pro-atherogenic, and this transformation is associated with changes in HDL structure and composition. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) has been recently shown to play a role in the maturation of HDL in plasma and to protect from atherosclerosis. ApoM gene is...
