Apolipoprotein A1 (apoA1) is the main protein component of high density lipoprotein particles (HDL). ApoA1 (28 kD) is mainly produced in the liver and exported into the circulation where it acquires lipids and becomes HDL. High level of apoA1 is regarded as protective against atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
Cross-reactivity has been assessed and confirmed with Rhesus and Cynomolgus macaques. For cross-reactivity with other NHP species, please consult this comprehensive table.
