Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein (apo) B mRNA editing determines the amount of apoB-100 and apoB-48 produced. Surprisingly, apobec-1 knockout mice, which do not edit apoB, have an essentially normal lipoprotein phenotype. By selected cross-breeding of mice of different genotypes, we show in this report that inactivation of editing produces profound phenotypic effects in cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) transgenic mice and...
