Record overview

MGPD ID	MGP000168
Gene ID	336
Species	Homo sapiens (Human)
Gene Name	apolipoprotein A-II
Gene Symbol	APOA2
Synonyms	apoAII; Apo-AII; ApoA-II;
Alternate names	apolipoprotein A-II; apolipoprotein A2;
Chromosome	1
Map Location	1q23.3
Summary	This gene encodes apolipoprotein (apo-) A-II, which is the second most abundant protein of the high density lipoprotein particles. The protein is found in plasma as a monomer, homodimer, or heterodimer with apolipoprotein D. Defects in this gene may result in apolipoprotein A-II deficiency or hypercholesterolemia.
