NCIt definition : Apolipoprotein B-100 (4563 aa, 516 kDa) is encoded by the human APOB gene. This protein
plays a role in both transport and cellular uptake of LDL particles.;
NCIt note : RNA editing of the full-length APOB transcript at residue 2180 (CAA- UAA), results
in the creation of a stop codon. This truncated mRNA encodes apolipoprotein B-48 (apo
B-48), which is found in chylomicron particles. (EntrezGene and UniProt);
