Background
The protein encoded by this gene is an apolipoprotein that plays an important role in regulating the plasma triglyceride levels, a major risk factor for coronary artery disease. It is a component of high density lipoprotein and is highly similar to a rat protein that is upregulated in response to liver injury. Mutations in this gene have been associated with hypertriglyceridemia and hyperlipoproteinemia type 5. This gene is located proximal to the apolipoprotein gene cluster on chromosome 11q23. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009],
Function
caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-4 is the initiator.,disease:Defects in APOA5 are a cause of hyperlipoproteinemia type 5 [MIM:144650]. Hyperlipoproteinemia type 5 is characterized by increased amounts of chylomicrons and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and decreased low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL) in the plasma after a fast. Numerous conditions cause this phenotype, including insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, contraceptive steroids, alcohol abuse, and glycogen storage disease type 1A (GSD1A) [MIM:232200].,disease:Defects in APOA5 are a cause of susceptibility to familial hypertriglyceridemia [MIM:145750]. It is a coronary heart disease risk factor. On a regular diet the patient demonstrates increased plasma VLDL. Plasma triglycerides are persistently increased, while plasma cholesterol and phospholipids are usually within normal limits.
