Abstract excerpt
We report the characterization of a new truncated apolipoprotein (apo) B, originally identified in the plasma of a homozygous proband and three heterozygous family members with hypobetalipoproteinemia. Using Western blotting, the truncated apoB species was estimated to be 27.5% the size of apoB-100. After fast protein liquid chromatography of plasma from the proband (CD) and mother (OS), the truncated apoB was...
