Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein H (apoH, protein; APOH, gene) is considered to be an essential cofactor for the binding of certain antiphospholipid autoantibodies to anionic phospholipids. APOH exhibits a genetically determined structural polymorphism due to the presence of three common alleles (APOH*1, APOH*2 and APOH*3) detectable by isoelectric focusing (IEF) and immunoblotting. The APOH*3 allele can be further characterized...
