关于 APOM

功能概要

由该基因编码的蛋白质是一种载脂蛋白，是脂质运载蛋白家族的成员。它被发现与高密度脂蛋白有关，并在较小程度上与低密度脂蛋白和富含甘油三酯的脂蛋白有关。编码的蛋白质通过质膜分泌，但仍与膜结合，参与脂质转运。交替剪接导致该基因的编码和非编码变体。[RefSeq 提供，2012 年 1 月]

The protein encoded by this gene is an apolipoprotein and member of the lipocalin protein family. It is found associated with high density lipoproteins and to a lesser extent with low density lipoproteins and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. The encoded protein is secreted through the plasma membrane but remains membrane-bound, where it is involved in lipid transport. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants of this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]
