Gene information for APOA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID337
Official gene symbolAPOA4
Full nameapolipoprotein A-IV
Aliases,MGC142154,MGC142156,
Gene summaryApoliprotein (apo) A-IV gene contains 3 exons separated by two introns. A sequence polymorphism has been identified in the 3'UTR of the third exon. The primary translation product is a 396-residue preprotein which after proteolytic processing is secreted its primary site of synthesis, the intestine, in association with chylomicron particles. Although its precise function is not known, apo A-IV is a potent activator of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in vitro. [provided by RefSeq]
