Gene information for APOM (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55937
Official gene symbolAPOM
Full nameapolipoprotein M
Aliases,G3a,HSPC336,MGC22400,NG20,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an apolipoprotein and member of the lipocalin protein family. It is found associated with high density lipoproteins and to a lesser extent with low density lipoproteins and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The encoded protein is secreted through the plasma membrane but remains membrane-bound, where it is involved in lipid transport. Two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene, but only one of them has been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq]
