VLDL and IDL apolipoprotein B-100 kinetics in familial hypercholesterolemia due to impaired LDL receptor function or to defective apolipoprotein B-100 [PDF]
Mutations in the apolipoprotein (apo) B, E (LDL) receptor gene and in the apolipoprotein B-100 gene are the cause of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and of familial defective apo B-100 (FDB), respectively.

Degradation of human apolipoprotein B‐100 by apolipoprotein(a)
Human plasma low density lipoproteine (LDL) contain a very high molecular weight protein termed apoB‐100 (M r = 550,000). In many samples of LDL, minor components designated as apoB‐74 (M r = 407,000) and apoB‐26 (M r = 145,000) are present. It has been shown that they can arise as a result of proteolytic degradation of apoB‐100.

Rapid Diagnosis of Familial Defective Apolipoprotein B-100 [PDF]
A method is described for the rapid, economic and non-radioactive examination of DNA samples from hypercholesterolaemic patients for familial defective apolipoprotein B-100, using a modified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol and restriction enzyme isoform genotyping.

Structure of apolipoprotein B-100 in low density lipoproteins [PDF]
There is general consensus that amphipathic α-helices and β sheets represent the major lipid-associating motifs of apolipoprotein (apo)B-100. In this review, we examine the existing experimental and computational evidence for the pentapartite domain ...

Characterization and quantitation of apolipoprotein B-100 by capillary electrophoresis [PDF]
The interaction of low density lipoproteins (LDL) with different surfactants was studied by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation as part of developing a method for quantitation of apoB-100 in serum. A mixture of

Effect of apolipoprotein E genotype on apolipoprotein B-100 metabolism in normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic subjects [PDF]
The effect of apolipoprotein (apo) E genotype on apoB-100 metabolism was examined in three normolipidemic apoE2/E2, five type III hyperlipidemic apoE2/E2, and five hyperlipidemic apoE3/E2 subjects using simultaneous administration of 131I-VLDL and 125I ...

Distribution, transport, and degradation of apolipoprotein B-100 in HepG2 cells
The transport of apolipoprotein B (apoB) between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi was studied in puromycin-synchronized HepG2 cells, using an antibody that could distinguish between apoB in ER and Golgi compartments.

Effects of a thyromimetic on apolipoprotein B-100 in rats [PDF]
We have studied the effects of a cardiac sparing thyromimetic, CGS 23425, on postprandial levels of triglycerides, abundance of apolipoprotein B (apo B) protein and hepatic apo B mRNA expression in rats. When compared with control rats, triglyceride clearance was significantly accelerated by treatment with CGS 23425.

Familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 is a genetic disorder of apolipoprotein B-100 that causes moderate to severe hypercholesterolemia. A single amino acid mutation in apolipoprotein B diminishes the ability of low density lipoproteins to bind to the ...
