APOA2

apolipoprotein A2

APOA2 encodes apolipoprotein A2; the mature protein apolipoprotein A-II (ApoA-II) is the second most abundant protein of plasma HDL particles and contributes to lipoprotein structure and metabolism.

About APOA2

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

Biology

Biological function

Reviewed UniProt describes apolipoprotein A-II as a lipid-associated protein that may stabilize high-density lipoprotein (HDL) structure and influence HDL metabolism. APOA2 therefore provides a defined molecular target for studying apolipoprotein composition and lipoprotein organization.

Experimental context

Research context

APOA2 is studied in HDL composition and remodeling, apolipoprotein biology and systemic lipid metabolism. Results should be interpreted in the context of lipoprotein particle state, sample type, species and product-level validation.
