MGPD IDMGP000174
Gene ID347
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameapolipoprotein D
Gene Symbol APOD
Alternate namesapolipoprotein D; apo-D;
Chromosome3
Map Location3q29
SummaryThis gene encodes a component of high density lipoprotein that has no marked similarity to other apolipoprotein sequences. It has a high degree of homology to plasma retinol-binding protein and other members of the alpha 2 microglobulin protein superfamily of carrier proteins, also known as lipocalins. This glycoprotein is closely associated with the enzyme lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase - an enzyme involved in lipoprotein metabolism. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
