Gene information for LPAL2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80350
Official gene symbolLPAL2
Full namelipoprotein, Lp(a)-like 2 pseudogene
Aliases,APOA2,APOAL,APOARGC,MGC129532,RP11-72O9.2,
Gene summaryApolipoprotein(a) is the distinguishing protein moiety of lipoprotein(a), of which elevated plasma levels are correlated with an increased risk of atherosclerosis. This gene is similar to the lipoprotein, Lp(a) gene, but all transcripts produced by this gene contain a truncated open reading frame and are candidates for nonsense-mediated decay. Consequently, this gene is considered to be a pseudogene. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
