APOA2, Official Symbol APOA2provided by HGNC Official Full Name apolipoprotein A2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:601 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000158874 MIM:107670; AllianceGenome:HGNC:601 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as apoAII; Apo-AII; ApoA-II 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.
