Gene information for APOO (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID79135
Official gene symbolAPOO
Full nameapolipoprotein O
Aliases,FAM121B,MGC4825,My025,
Gene summaryThis gene is a member of the apolipoprotein family. Members of this protein family are involved in the transport and metabolism of lipids. The encoded protein associates with HDL, LDL and VLDL lipoproteins and is characterized by chondroitin-sulfate glycosylation. This protein may be involved in preventing lipid accumulation in the myocardium in obese and diabetic patients. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 3, 4, 5, 12 and 16.
