APOA5

apolipoprotein A5

APOA5 (apolipoprotein A5) encodes apolipoprotein A-V (ApoA-V), a liver-enriched minor apolipoprotein associated mainly with HDL and also with triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. APOA5 is an important regulator of plasma triglyceride metabolism and is studied in lipoprotein lipase activity, VLDL handling and systemic lipid homeostasis.

About APOA5

Target information is kept separate from product-level validation so you can review the biology and the reagent evidence independently.

Biology

Biological function

Apolipoprotein A-V is a minor plasma apolipoprotein that modulates triglyceride-rich lipoprotein metabolism. Reviewed UniProt describes ApoA-V as a potent stimulator of apo-CII-dependent lipoprotein lipase triglyceride hydrolysis and as an inhibitor of hepatic VLDL-triglyceride production, supporting efficient triglyceride clearance and regulation of circulating triglyceride levels.

Experimental context

Research context

APOA5 is a focused research target for triglyceride homeostasis, lipoprotein lipase regulation, HDL/VLDL biology and hepatic lipid metabolism. Experimental interpretation should distinguish APOA5 abundance from lipoprotein-particle state and should follow product-specific species, sample, assay and application validation.
