Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A1), the major protein of HDL, is secreted as a proprotein and then is cleaved by C-terminal procollagen endoproteinase/bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP1). BMP1 stimulates the conversion of newly secreted proapo A1 to its phospholipid-binding form. Therefore, genetic variations of BMP1 gene may affect serum ApoA1 and HDL levels. We aimed to investigate the effects of the functional...
