  Apolipoprotein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apolipoproteins are a class of apoproteins, which are proteins that depend on the presence of other small molecules, or cofactors, to function.
Thus, apolipoproteins are the protein constituents of lipoproteins, which also consist of phospholipids, triacylglycerols, cholesterol, and cholesterol esters.
Apolipoprotein synthesis is affected by the addition of Nicotinic Acid (a form of the vitamine niacin).

The process according to claim 1, wherein the apolipoprotein containing phase is brought to a higher concentration of apolipoproteins by membrane filtration, lyophilization, precipitation at pH 5 to 6, or by addition of a lower aliphatic alcohol, a water-soluble salt or a polymeric substance, or by adsorption to and elution from a solid carrier material.
Apolipoproteins prepared according to the present method may be used for the prophylaxis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases or for the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations used for this purpose.
The residue was mixed with 10 g of apolipoprotein dissolved in 10 L of phosphate buffer and 930 g of sodium cholate; the mixture was incubated for 30 minutes at 24.degree.

Measurement of apolipoproteins B and A by radial immunodiffusion: methodological assessment and clinical applications.
The clinical evaluation of apolipoproteins is of interest in order to characterize the risk profile for ischemic heart disease both in normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic subjects.
In this work several methodological questions concerning the measurement of plasma apolipoproteins B and A by radial immunodiffusion have been addressed; the results show that this method is particularly reliable for the apo B assay.

Apolipoproteins modulate all those processes by means of their lipid-binding ability, rate and extent of binding, and their structure.
Therefore, the molecular properties of the apolipoproteins define the physiological role of lipoproteins and the homeostasis of the lipid metabolism, in general.
A full understanding of the driving forces that control binding, and the identification and characterization of the functional domains of the apolipoproteins is necessary to understand the physiology and pathology of the metabolic pathways where apolipoproteins are involved.

 Apolipoproteins better than cholesterol for predicting cardiovascular disease?
The authors comment how the results of four large prospective studies have shown that apolipoprotein B is superior to total cholesterol or LDL cholesterol to predict the risk of vascular disease.
Based on their review of results from large statin trials apolipoproteins are also thought to be more sensitive markers than LDL cholesterol for people using statins.
However, data now suggest that values of apolipoprotein B and the apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio are more sensitive indices of risk of vascular disease-and are more robust predictors of future vascular events for patients on statin therapy-than concentrations of LDL cholesterol, non-HDL cholesterol, or the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio.

 Stability of Plasma Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, and Apolipoproteins B and A-I During the Early Postmortem Period
The stability of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins during the early postmortem period was studied by taking four duplicate blood samples from eight cadavers 2, 6, 12, and 24 h after death.
The bodies were kept at +4°C. The plasma samples were analyzed for total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein B (apo B), and apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I).
The results indicate that unpredictable fluctuations occur in plasma lipid and apolipoprotein values within 24 h after death, and they should be interpreted cautiously if the samples have been taken after a prolonged postmortem period.

 Focus On... Apolipoproteins
In recent years, researchers have focused on the apolipoprotein component of Lp(a) and have found that these lipid-protein complexes are independently associated with atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and CAD.
Other lipid and apolipoprotein components vary considerably in the LDL complex, but they all interact to maintain the apo B molecule in a specific spatial orientation for receptor binding.
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is another lipid-protein complex that plays a role in the pathogenesis of heart disease.

Apolipoprotein B100 measures the amount of apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) in the blood.
Apolipoproteins are proteins on the surface of the lipoprotein complex that bind to specific enzymes or transport proteins on the cell membranes -- this directs the lipoprotein to the proper site of metabolism.
Apolipoprotein levels can be measured directly, unlike HDL and LDL measurements, which are indirect.

Exchangeable apolipoproteins are soluble protein components of lipoproteins that mediate cholesterol transport and metabolism and play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and several other major human disorders, including amyloidosis.
This distinct adaptability is key to apolipoproteins functions and is attributed to re-folding and re-packing of the constituent amphipathic alpha-helices.
Our laboratory is interested in elucidating the details of chaperone-assisted folding of apolipoprotein B (apoB) whose correct folding involves its assembly with lipids to form very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), the precursors of low density lipoproteins (LDL).

 NEJM -- A prospective study of cholesterol, apolipoproteins, and the risk of myocardial infarction
The independent contributions of subfractions of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (HDL2 and HDL3) and apolipoproteins in predicting the risk of myocardial infarction are unclear.
The levels of total cholesterol and apolipoprotein B-100 were significantly associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction (data on levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were unavailable).
However, the levels of HDL subfractions and apolipoproteins did not add significantly to the value of a multivariate model that included the ratio of total to HDL cholesterol in predicting myocardial infarction, whereas that ratio remained a significant independent predictor of risk.

Apolipoproteins are mostly formed in the liver and intestine, and play an important role in the production and transport of cholesterol around the body.
There are at least nine types of apolipoproteins, including apo A-1, apo B and apo E. Each type bonds with cholesterol in the blood - either the protective cholesterol, known as High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), or the more harmful cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL).
Levels of different apolipoproteins are linked to differing risks of coronary heart disease, diabetes or stroke.
