SILu^™Lite APOA2 is a recombinant human protein expressed in human 293 cells. It is a homodimer consisting of 97 amino acids (including C-terminal polyhistidine and flag tags), with a calculated molecular mass of 11 kDa. SILu Lite APOA2 is an analytical standard designed to be used as starting material for preparation of calibrators and controls in LC-MS applications.

General description

Apolipoprotein A-II (ApoA-II) occurs in plasma as a dimer of two 77-amino acid chains linked by a disulfide bridge. After apoA-I, it is the second major protein component of HDL, accounting for approximately 20% of HDL total protein. ApoA-II is thought to play an important role in triglyceride metabolism both from animal and human studies. 3 Recent findings attribute apoA-II to inhibitory effects on lipoprotein lipase-mediated hydrolysis of triglyceride-rich particles. Additional associations of apoA-II have been reported for a variety of protein factors including hepatic lipase (HL), lipoprotein lipase (LPL), endothelial lipase, CETP, PLTP, and LCAT.
