MeSH definition : The most abundant protein component of HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS or HDL. This protein
serves as an acceptor for CHOLESTEROL released from cells thus promoting efflux of
cholesterol to HDL then to the LIVER for excretion from the body (reverse cholesterol
transport). It also acts as a cofactor for LECITHIN CHOLESTEROL ACYLTRANSFERASE that
forms CHOLESTEROL ESTERS on the HDL particles. Mutations of this gene APOA1 cause
HDL deficiency, such as in FAMILIAL ALPHA LIPOPROTEIN DEFICIENCY DISEASE and in some
patients with TANGIER DISEASE.;
MeSH synonym : apoa-1; apo a-i; apolipoprotein ai; apo a1; apolipoprotein a 1; apoa-i; apolipoprotein a-1; apolipoprotein a1; apo a-1; apo ai; apolipoprotein A I;
