Rabbit Anti-APOA4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
APOA4 (apolipoprotein A-IV) is a component of HDL and chylomicrons. Its primary site of synthesis is the intestine, in association with lymph chylomicron particles. Although its precise function is not known, APOA4 is a potent activator of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) in vitro. In rodents, Apo A-IV inhibits gastric emptying and serves as a satiety factor whose synthesis and secretion are increased by the ingestion of dietary fat. It also possesses anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic properties
Function:
May have a role in chylomicrons and VLDL secretion and catabolism. Required for efficient activation of lipoprotein lipase by ApoSLCII; potent activator of LCAT. Apoa-IV is a major component of HDL and chylomicrons.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Synthesized primarily in the intestine and secreted in plasma.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation sites are present in the extracellular medium.
Similarity:
Belongs to the apolipoprotein A1/A4/E family.
