SAA is the main apoprotein of HDL in the acute phase that carries HDL and redirect them through detoxification route leading to liver toward macrophage clearance route.
The immunophenotype is similar to usual type pulmonary adenocarcinoma with positive immunostaining for TTF-1, Napsin A and Surfactant Apoprotein A (SPA) (1-5,8).
In such cases, not only apoprotein concentrations, but also enzyme or cell function, as well as genetic investigations, are relevant; important genetic disorders to recognise are familial hypercholesterolaemia, dysbetalipoproteinaemia and chylomicronaemia.
A study with 4274 English children showed that the high levels of 25-OH-D are associated with cardioprotective levels of HDL, apoprotein A1, and adiponectin [16], a relation that was confirmed in an experimental study with Iranian children with ages between 10 to 14 years old, in whom the supplementation of vitamin D showed a significant positive impact on the serum HDL cholesterol levels in relation with the control group [17].
However, cytokeratin (clone: AE1AE3), ^-catenin, progesterone receptor (PgR), thyroid transcription factor- (TTF-) 1, synaptophysin, thyroglobulin, surfactant apoprotein (SPA), epithelial-CMA (EpCAM), MUC5AC (a mucinous-associated protein), neural cell-CAM (NCAM), human melanin black (HMB) 45, and CD20 were negative (Figures 7(a) and 7(b)).
In obese, insulin-resistant, nondiabetic subjects, salsalate reduced the atherogenicity of the lipid, lipoprotein, and apoprotein profile and insulin sensitivity [30, 31].
Abnormal lipoprotein receptor-binding activity of the human E apoprotein due to cysteine-arginine interchange at a single site.
This combination of traits is highly suggestive that the transcript produces an apoprotein able to bind to a retinal-based chromophore to form a photopigment capable of absorbing light.
Heterologous expression of laccase cDNA form Ceriporiopsis subvermispora yields copper-activated apoprotein and complex isoform patterns.
Estrogen causes hepatic expression of apoprotein gene; consequently it affects lipid and lipoprotein metabolism [1].
[33] emphasized that the affinity between the nitrogen atom and the apoprotein defines the antifungal selectivity.
