Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein A-IV (apoA-IV protein; APOA4 gene) is structurally polymorphic in various mammalian species, including human, baboon, dog, horse, and mouse. To analyze the extent of genetic variation in the chimpanzee APOA4 gene, we screened 115 common chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) (86 unrelated w...
