Apolipoprotein AII Protein | ApoA2 protein
Apolipoprotein AII (ApoAII, ApoA2), Human Serum - Ultra Pure
Appearance: Frozen Liquid
Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.
Ultra pure human Apolipoprotein AII is purified from delipidated HDL and is one of a family of evolutionarily related proteins which play a crucial role in lipid transport and metabolism. Serum levels of human ApoAII have been shown to be inversely correlated to the incidence of coronary heart disease and its expression to be limited to the liver and intestine.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes apolipoprotein (apo-) A-II, which is the second most abundant protein of the high density lipoprotein particles. The protein is found in plasma as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with apolipoprotein D. Defects in this gene may result in apolipoprotein A-II deficiency or hypercholesterolemia.

Uniprot Description
APOA2: May stabilize HDL (high density lipoprotein) structure by its association with lipids, and affect the HDL metabolism. Belongs to the apolipoprotein A2 family.

Product Notes
The ApoA2 apoa2 (Catalog #AAA173021) is a Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Apolipoprotein AII, Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
