General description

The gene APOA4 is localized to the long arm of human chromosome 11 along with A1 (APOA1), C3 (APOC3) genes. This gene contains three exons separated by two introns. Apo A-IV is synthesized in the mucosal cells of the small intestine as a preprotein. This 396-amino acid preprotein undergoes proteolytic processing, associates with chylomicrons during fat absorption and is secreted into the lymph.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

APOA4 (apolipoprotein A-IV) gene encodes a 396-amino acid protein that forms a component of the lipid transport system. It is found in association with chylomicrons, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and the lipoprotein-free fraction of the plasma. It is involved in the metabolism of high density lipoproteins and chylomicrons. Human apo A-IV is found to be a potent activator of the enzyme lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase in vitro.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

Human plasma apoproteins (apo) A-I and A-IV both activate the enzyme lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.43). Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase activity was measured by the conversion of [4-14C] cholesterol to [4-14C]cholesteryl ester using artificial phospholipid/cholesterol/[4-14C]cholesterol/apoprotein substrates. The substrate was prepared by the addition

Apolipoprotein (apo) A-IV is a protein involved in the metabolism of chylomicrons and high density lipoproteins. This protein displays genetic polymorphism due to two main codominant alleles, A-IV1 and A-IV2. We have identified the mutation that leads to this polymorphism.
