The Novel Apolipoprotein A5 Is Present in Human Serum, Is Associated with VLDL, HDL, and Chylomicrons, and Circulates at Very Low Concentrations Compared with Other Apolipoproteins

Abstract

These data demonstrate for the first time that ApoA5 is a secreted protein present in human serum and is associated with specific lipoprotein particles. In addition, our data indicate that the circulating concentration of human ApoA5 is very low compared with other apolipoproteins.
