Apolipoprotein B (APOB), a large amphipathic glycoprotein, has hydrophobic lipid-binding and hydrophilic regions. It has a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor-binding domain. The APOB gene with 29 exons produces two forms, such as apoB-48 and apoB-100 in circulating lipoproteins. This gene is located on human chromosome 2p24.1.
Immunogen
Peptide with sequence C-TDLHLRYQKDKK from the internal region of the protein sequence according to NP_000375.2.
Application
Anti-APOB antibody produced in goat has been used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).[1]
Biochem/physiol Actions
Apolipoprotein B (APOB) participates in human lipoprotein metabolism. APOB-48 plays an essential role in the synthesis of chylomicron. APOB-100 is required for the structural component of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). APOB is essential in the molecular diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The hydrophobic lipid-binding and hydrophilic regions are capable of interacting with the aqueous plasma environment.

Plasma lipoproteins are important determinants of atherosclerosis. Apolipoprotein (apo) B is a large, amphipathic glycoprotein that plays a central role in human lipoprotein metabolism. Two forms of apoB are produced from the APOB gene by a unique posttranscriptional editing process:
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a monogenic dominant inherited disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein levels, and is mainly attributable to mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and proportein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes.
Patients with antiphospholipid syndrome have been identified to have higher incidence rates of atherosclerosis (AS) due to the elevated levels of anti‑β2‑glycoprotein I (β2GPI) antibody (Ab). Our previous studies revealed that the anti‑β2GPI Ab formed a stable oxidized low‑density lipoprotein (oxLDL)/β2GPI/anti‑β2GPI Ab complex
