Summaries for APOA2 Gene
-
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.

GeneCards Summary for APOA2 Gene
APOA2 (Apolipoprotein A2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with APOA2 include Hypercholesterolemia, Familial, 1 and Aapoaii Amyloidosis. Among its related pathways are Plasma lipoprotein assembly, remodeling, and clearance and Familial hyperlipidemia type 1. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include protein homodimerization activity and lipid binding.
