Record overview

MGPD IDMGP000167
Gene ID335
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameapolipoprotein A-I
Gene Symbol APOA1
Alternate namesapolipoprotein A-I; apo-AI;
Chromosome11
Map Location11q23-q24
SummaryThis gene encodes apolipoprotein A-I, which is the major protein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma. The protein promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion, and it is a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT) which is responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. This gene is closely linked with two other apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 11. Defects in this gene are associated with HDL deficiencies, including Tangier disease, and with systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
