Anti-Apolipoprotein D Antibody

Apolipoprotein D (ADOP), also known as Apolipoprotein D, Apo-D, ApoD, and encoded by the gene name APOD, is a member of the calycin superfamily and the Lipocalin family. Recent studies have suggested that Apolipoprotein D is involved in the transport and binding of bilin. Additioanlly, studies have demonstrated that Apolipoprotein D is able to transport a variety of ligands in a number of different contexts. Apolipoprotein D is a homodimer located in the plasma, and it also exists as a disulfide-linked heterodimer with APOA2. Apolipoprotein D is expressed in the liver, intestine, pancreas, kidney, placenta, adrenal, spleen, fetal brain tissue and tears. Apolipoprotein D is primarily localized in HDL (60-65%), with most of the remainder in VHDL and only small amounts in VLDL and LDL.
