Abstract excerpt
Population studies have found that a natural human apoA-I variant, apoA-I[K107del], is strongly associated with low HDL-C but normal plasma apoA-I levels. We aimed to reveal properties of this variant that contribute to its unusual phenotype associated with atherosclerosis. Our oil-drop tensiometry studies revealed that compared to WT, recombinant apoA-I[K107del] adsorbed to surfaces of POPC-coated triolein drops...
